This leads to unsafe conditions that put workers at risk. At O’Dwyer & Bernstien, LLP, in Manhattan, we know that a work injury can turn your life upside down.

Our lawyers have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for injured workers in the New York City area. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your accident and explain your options.

Holding Negligent Parties Accountable For Unsafe Conditions

Safety equipment and precautions are not optional. They are required by law. In demolition, tunnel and excavation sites, it is crucial to provide proper bracing to prevent cave-ins. Workers need proper equipment such as goggles, harnesses, supports, lanyards, lifelines, railings, nets, cages, fences and covered walkways.

The following are accidents that can occur at demolition, tunnel and excavation sites when employers fail to make worker safety a priority:

• Trench collapses
• Falls
• Injuries from falling objects
• Trip-and-fall accidents
