Workers’ compensation benefits rarely cover the total costs and damages associated with a severe construction or other work site accident. At Omrani & Taub, our attorneys are dedicated to recovering the full amount of compensation available to injured construction workers and family members of workers who have died in fatal workplace accidents.

Our lawyers will review your case to help determine if you can recover money from all responsible parties, in addition to any workers’ compensation benefits you receive.
Even if you aren’t sure if you have a case, or if you think you only have a workers’ compensation case, contact Omrani & Taub online or call 212-529-7848 (212-LAW-SUIT) for a free consultation as soon as possible following a work site injury.

According to New York law, employers must provide their employees with a safe work environment. Whether you’re a contractor, an hourly day laborer or a salaried employee, if you were injured on the job, you may have a strong personal injury claim. At Omrani & Taub, we have significant experience representing workers injured due to:

• Scaffolding falls and ladder accidents
• Falls from heights and fall-downs
• Defective and unsafe products and equipment
• Crane accidents, forklift accidents and other heavy equipment accidents
• Injuries from falling debris
• Accidents caused by third parties

In addition to injured workers, we can represent work site visitors or passers-by who are injured on construction sites or other work sites.

Immigrant Workers and Construction Accidents

Reports from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration show that immigrant day laborers tend to take on the most dangerous jobs at the least safe construction sites. Seven of the 25 workers who were killed in accidents at New York City construction sites between October 2001 and September 2003 were classified as day laborers.

Construction Accidents Caused by Third Parties

Construction sites are usually busy places, with many different people working on any given project at one time. Owners, contractors, managers, supervisors, architects, engineers and safety coordinators are just a few of the workers you may find on a work site. If someone other than your employer is at fault for your injury, speak with an Omrani & Taub attorney about filing a personal injury claim against the third party.
