Queens Construction Accident Attorney Keetick L. Sanchez Discusses How Construction Labor Laws Cover Workers in New York

Nov 9, 2022

November 09, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Queens construction accident attorney Keetick L. Sanchez (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/construction-accident-attorney/) releases a new article that explains how Construction Labor Laws are able to cover workers. The lawyer mentions that construction or renovation sites are one of the most dangerous industries in the United States. OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration says that 21.1 percent of fatal accidents occur in the construction industry.

According to the Queens construction accident attorney, “The construction industry itself requires many workers in close and limited proximity, using large new equipment, and navigating potentially dangerous obstacles and situations on the site. Add this to employers pushing their workers under unreasonable time schedules, sometimes with unfair compensation.”

The lawyer explains that OSHA also has a list of what they call the “fatal four” of the most common construction accident categories that usually end up fatally. This list includes construction falls, strikes by objects on a construction site, electrocutions, and “caught-in-between” accidents.

Attorney Keetick L. Sanchez also mentions that there are a lot of hazards and risks of injuries at construction sites. However, New York construction sites are frequently found to have dangerous conditions that go unnoticed and are deliberately ignored. This is why it is important to inspect construction sites regularly.

In the article, the accident attorney also says that in most cases, workers may not be able to sue their employer. New York workers’ compensation laws are set out to protect employers from lawsuits should an employee suffer from injuries while on the job. However, depending on the circumstances surrounding the accidents and injuries, someone may be held liable for the injuries and the victim may be able to collect compensation for the injuries they suffered.

Furthermore, attorney Sanchez adds that New York labor laws require construction workers to be protected from injuries. An injury victim can sue the property owner or contractor if they fail to follow these laws.

Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled construction accident lawyer if they have been injured in a workplace accident. Having an experienced attorney may be able to help the victim receive the compensation that they deserve for the injuries they suffered.
