At Brown Chiari LLP, we represent injured workers throughout Western New York who have been harmed due to unsafe conditions, equipment failure, or employer negligence. Our experienced attorneys understand the laws that apply to construction accident cases, including New York State Labor Law protections. We are committed to helping our clients recover compensation for their injuries, lost wages, and medical expenses so they can focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.

Understanding Construction Accidents in Tonawanda NY

The construction industry is governed by strict safety regulations, but violations remain common. When construction companies, contractors, or property owners fail to follow these rules, accidents happen, and workers suffer the consequences. Whether due to failure to provide proper safety gear, inadequate training, or unsafe work environments, construction site accidents often involve serious injuries that require long-term medical care.

Construction accidents include falls from heights, machinery malfunctions, electrocution, scaffolding accidents, trench collapses, and being struck by falling materials. Injured construction workers may face traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and other severe injuries that prevent them from returning to work for months, or permanently. These injuries often lead to emotional distress and significant financial strain for the injured party and their family.

Your Right to File a Personal Injury Claim After a Construction Accident

Injured workers often assume that workers’ compensation is their only legal remedy. However, many construction accident cases involve third parties, such as property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, or equipment manufacturers, who may be held liable for the accident. If a third party’s negligence contributed to your injury, you may have the right to file a personal injury claim in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits.

A personal injury claim allows you to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other losses related to the accident. In some cases, filing a personal injury lawsuit may be the only way to secure adequate compensation for life-altering injuries. Our construction accident lawyers can review your case, identify liable parties, and develop a legal strategy to pursue full and fair compensation.

Building a Strong Case for Compensation

At Brown Chiari LLP, we know what it takes to build a strong case. We begin with a thorough investigation of the construction site, gathering evidence such as medical records, witness statements, safety inspection reports, and incident logs. Our attorneys analyze the cause of the accident and work with construction experts, medical professionals, and economists to calculate damages and support your claim.

We have extensive experience with complex legal cases and understand the challenges construction workers face when dealing with an insurance company or navigating the legal process. Whether you are filing against a negligent contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer, we fight to ensure our clients receive adequate compensation for the harm they’ve suffered.
