New York City Inadequate Unsafe Equipment Injury Attorney
A construction site can be an extremely hazardous place where your safety is directly related to the quality of the equipment and the tools you are given. The difference between a near miss and a life changing injury can be as little as an adequate pair of safety goggles, a hard hat, a safety harness or even a safety guard on a piece of automated equipment.
When your employer fails to provide you and your coworkers a safe work environment, you may be entitled to substantial compensation following a serious injury. At the law office of Roy Hiller, our New York City construction accident lawyer provides experienced and effective legal guidance to clients in the Bronx, Brooklyn and across all five boroughs.
Tool and Equipment Related Injuries
Workers on construction sites rely on their equipment and tools to get the job done safely. They are protected by the laws of the state of New York and relevant industrial codes. If you or your loved one was provided defective equipment or was denied safety equipment and suffered a serious injury as a result, our law firm can help you recover the full compensation you are owed.
