In fact, eight people died in construction accidents in the first seven months of 2018 compared to four over the same time period in 2017, according to the city Buildings Department. Through July of this year, approximately 469 people were injured in 457 on-the-job accidents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liability in Construction Accident Cases<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under New York law, individuals who are injured on the job are covered by Workers\u2019 Compensation. Fortunately, workers\u2019 compensation is not the only option to those who are injured at the workplace. While New York law prevents construction workers from suing their employers, it does not preclude them from pursing damages from other third parties who were at-fault for the accident. A third party is someone other than the worker\u2019s employer or co-worker and may include contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers and any other third parties who may have played a role in the accident.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/construction-related-accidents-on-the-rise-in-new-york\/#more-2154\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Construction accidents are not only physically painful, they can be scary in that they can create uncertainty about your personal and professional future.
