Personal Injury Attorneys for Construction Accidents

NY Labor 240 and Forklift AccidentsNew York Labor Law requires building owners and general contractors to provide safe equipment that adequately protects construction workers. At the law firm of Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C., our experienced personal injury lawyers have achieved successful recoveries for workers injured due to defective forklifts, bulldozers and other heavy machinery in New York and New Jersey.

These types of accidents can have serious consequences, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injuries. We recognize that you may not know exactly how your accident occurred or who is ultimately responsible. Our firm will investigate and carefully review the events that led to your accident, and then file a personal injury claim to recover the full amount of financial compensation allowed under the law.
