Common Causes of Construction Site Injuries in Westchester

No two construction sites are the same, but many pose the same risks to those who work on the locations. Some of the leading causes of construction site accident injuries include: 

  • Falls 

  • Explosions 

  • Electrocutions

  • Equipment malfunctions 

  • Falling debris 

  • Scaffolding accidents 

  • Building collapse 

  • Ladder accidents 

  • Logging accidents 

  • Structure failures

  • Welding accidents

  • Nail gun accidents 

  • Wrongful death 


Whatever the cause of your injuries, the experienced attorneys at the Law Offices of Norman Gershon will fight to ensure that each responsible party is held accountable and you get the maximum compensation you deserve. 

Injuries to Workers in Westchester, NY Construction Accidents 

If you were injured due to someone’s negligence while working on a construction site, you might be entitled to different forms of compensation. Construction workers injured while on the job may be eligible for workers’ compensation insurance benefits to help cover some of their bills and lost wages while incapacitated. However, workers’ compensation benefits are often far less than the amount you could recover in a personal liability lawsuit. As a result, workers’ compensation benefits may not be enough to cover the full cost of your injuries and treatment. Consider contacting a Westchester construction site accident attorney today to get the compensation you deserve. 

Injuries to Bystanders in Westchester, NY Construction Accidents 

In addition to workers, bystanders can also get injured in or near construction areas. Construction in populated areas like cities and towns can pose serious risks to those passing by from falling objects, crane accidents, and scaffolding collapses. Because street and sidewalk repairs often force pedestrians to walk near the vehicles traveling on the road, there is an increased risk of pedestrian accidents. Further, bicycle and motorcycle drivers are at an increased risk of injury from debris falling or blowing into the road, as they are not as protected as enclosed vehicles. You might be entitled to financial relief if you were injured as a bystander in a construction site accident.
