Understanding Your Rights After a Construction Accident

What Qualifies as a Construction Accident?

A construction accident is any injury-causing incident that happens on a job site, whether to a worker, pedestrian, or visitor. These accidents often involve falls, unsafe conditions, defective equipment, or employer negligence.

What Should I Do Immediately After a Construction Accident?

• Seek medical attention immediately.
• Report the accident to your supervisor or site manager.
• Document the scene—take photos and gather witness information.
• Consult with a construction accident attorney before speaking with insurance companies.

Can I File a Lawsuit If I Was Injured on a Construction Site?

Yes! You may have a workers’ compensation claim, and in some cases, a third-party lawsuit against:

• Negligent contractors or subcontractors
• Property owners
• Equipment manufacturers

Every case is unique—our Queens construction accident lawyers will review your situation and help determine the best legal strategy.
