Every year, thousands of construction workers are injured either or killed in construction related accidents. If you or a loved one have been hurt at a construction site, you need the unrivalled expertise and experience Smiley Law brings to every case we accept.

Owners, architects, equipment manufacturers and others may bear responsibility for your injuries. And because subcontractors are often involved in construction accident injuries, third parties may also be responsible.

Smiley Law is experienced in all aspects of the often complex legal issues involved in New York construction accident injuries. We will investigate and help determine who is responsible for your construction site injury and zealously represent your interests until you are justly compensated for your injuries.

Construction Accident Injury Issues

• New York City and State laws require construction companies to inspect each work site in order to ensure worker safety.
• The contractor and all subcontractors in their employ are required to provide a reasonably safe work environment, and to warn workers of any inherent hazards - both at the site and regarding the nature of the work. Managing agents must also take reasonable steps to coordinate job safety and supervise compliance with all safety specifications.
• Construction equipment manufacturers have a legal responsibility to design and maintain safe products. That responsibility extends to preventing the use of unreasonably dangerous or defective products and equipment. These products include (but are not limited to): power tools, scaffolding, derricks, cranes, trucks, conveyors, hoists, woodworking tools, ladders, winches, graters, scrapers, bulldozers, forklifts, tractors, boilers, pressure vessels and gas detectors.
