A seasoned construction accident attorney can make a big difference in the amount of money you receive after a New York construction or demolition injury.

You may have significant claims that go above and beyond your automatic workers compensation benefit.

Normally your immediate employer or their insurance company will pay for the workers comp benefit based on an established formula that is often not adequate to cover ongoing medical costs, lost wages and suffering. It is also not uncommon for insurance companies to contest your claim -- another reason to have a qualified construction attorney on your side.

Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C.

The firm’s goal is to obtain maximum financial and medical benefits for our clients. We will investigate your accident thoroughly to identify every claim you may have, and we will fight for your right to adequate compensation in cases where insurance companies contest your claim.

Weitz & Luxenberg has represented injured construction workers and their families since 1986. In our experience, there is often more than one culpable party responsible for a construction injury that can be held liable. In cases of unsafe working conditions, for example, you may have a valid claim against the general contractor, a subcontractor, an architect or engineer, or the work site owner.

If your injury is the result of defective equipment on site, a savvy construction attorney will recognize if you have a claim against an equipment manufacturer or distributor. For a free case review, please contact us via the form below.
