WHAT COMPENSATION CAN YOU RECOVER IN A CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT CASE
Victims of construction accidents in New York may be entitled to substantial construction accident compensation, including:
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation and long-term care
Unlike a standard workers’ compensation claim, a construction accident lawsuit New York filed against a negligent third party — such as a general contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer — can allow you to recover damages that workers’ comp does not cover.
The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injury, liability, and how it affects your life and future.
WHO CAN BE HELD LIABLE IN A CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT
Liability in a construction accident case can involve multiple parties depending on the situation. This may include:
- General contractors and site supervisors
- Property owners (Scaffold Law New York claims under Labor Law 240)
- Employers (workers’ compensation claims)
- Equipment and scaffolding manufacturers (defective products)
- Government entities (unsafe public construction sites)
While an injured worker generally cannot sue their own employer directly, third-party claims under Labor Law 240 and 241(6) allow you to pursue compensation from other responsible parties, such as property owners, general contractors, and equipment manufacturers. Labor Law 200 provides an additional basis for claims where a property owner or contractor had control over the worksite and failed to maintain safe conditions. Our legal team investigates each case thoroughly to identify every liable party and build a strong claim.
COMMON TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCIDENTS WE HANDLE

- Scaffolding accident claims under Labor Law 240

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my construction accident case worth?
The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, lost wages, medical costs, and long-term impact on your ability to work. Cases involving falls from scaffolding, crane accidents, or permanent injuries typically result in higher compensation than minor injury claims. A free case review with our attorneys can give you a clearer picture.
What should I do after a construction accident?
Report the accident to your supervisor immediately, seek medical attention, and document the scene if possible. Avoid giving a recorded statement to your employer's insurance company before speaking with a construction accident lawyer, as early statements can be used to reduce your compensation later.
Is there a construction accident lawyer near me who serves my borough?
Yes. The Rybak Firm, PLLC represents injured workers across every borough — Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We offer free transportation and can meet you at your home or hospital if you're unable to travel to our office.
How much does a construction site injury attorney cost?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we win your case. Your initial consultation with our construction accident lawyers is always free and confidential.
Can I file a lawsuit if I already received workers' compensation?
Yes, in many cases. Workers' compensation does not prevent you from filing a third-party lawsuit against a negligent contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer. An experienced attorney can determine whether you qualify for additional compensation beyond your workers' comp benefits.
