New York has some comprehensive and well-established laws in place to protect and ensure the safety of construction workers. Claims for workers’ compensation benefits are not the only source of recovery and support when a general contractor, building owner or some other party has been negligent. In many cases, over the past 45-plus years, our accomplished attorneys have successfully pursued third-party liability claims under the New York State Labor Law.
