Construction Injury Law Firm Discusses NY Labor 240
Your work at elevation with hoists and cranes is both important and dangerous. When a catastrophic personal injury happens, or a fall results in the wrongful death of a loved one, you can even the playing field when the attorneys at KGG represent you. Partner Barry S. Kantrowitz has chosen to focus his practice on helping injury victims and heads up our team of personal injury lawyers.
At KGG, our attorneys have aggressively advocated for loyal, courageous workers like you for 35 years. We supply you with information about New York Labor 240, formerly known as the “scaffold law.” We will discuss your options with you and help you reach a decision in regard to your claim that you are comfortable with. We confront negligent parties with facts and investigative findings that reveal property owner or contractor oversight. We negotiate with insurers and will litigate forcefully if it becomes necessary.
Did You Suffer a Serious Scaffold Fall or Injury at a Construction Site?
Was your construction accident the result of insufficient safety precautions or fall protection, such as harnesses or ladders? Personal injury attorneys provide the legal help you need to secure the full financial compensation you deserve and speed your recovery.
You can benefit from the experience, skills and client focus of our personal injury attorneys, among others we represent:
- Construction workers
- Painters
- Window washers
- Billboard workers
- Gutter installers
- Siders
- Roofers
A scaffold may have been improperly assembled, braced or secured. Too many people on a scaffold, causing overcrowding, could result in a construction site accident. They can lack a strong safety railing. Parts of a scaffold can be defective, or malfunction. You deserve to know what happened to cause your accident as well as how to go about obtaining the financial compensation you need to recoup lost wages and medical expenses. Protect your life, your rights and your family’s future by contacting the KGG law offices for a free consultation. We are the construction injury law firm that gets results.

KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.Posted on Google

Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.Posted on Google

Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommendPosted on Google

We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!Posted on Google
