Under construction law, work site safety is the No. 1 responsibility of contractors and site owners. But that did not prevent some 24 New York City construction workers from losing their lives on construction sites in 2007.

Employers’ inadequate safety measures and the negligence of other culpable parties can place surviving family members in great financial jeopardy.

Construction Law

According to construction law, employers must provide workers compensation insurance benefits. But injured employees often encounter significant delays and administrative hurdles in their efforts to collect benefits. The shear volume of cases can cause long delays or rushed judgments.

Often the final compensation reward is not enough to cover medical costs, lost wages and suffering.

Employers and insurance companies can delay or contest a valid injury claim.

In 2007, for example, 19,703 cases were challenged. Those challenges sent many claims to a complex hearing before a Workers Compensation Law Judge, where testimony, medical documents and other evidence was required.To the uninitiated worker, the system is often stressful and difficult to navigate.
