The New York City ladder accident lawyers of Smiley & Smiley, LLP, can provide results-oriented representation if you, while working on a construction site:
- Fell from a ladder or scaffold

New York lawmakers are concerned about the safety of workers working at great heights. This means that, under The Scaffold Law, defendants face strict liability when ladder- and scaffold-related injuries occur. Employees injured in a construction accident may be entitled to financial compensation by their employer in addition to any Worker's Compensation for which they may be eligible.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a ladder or scaffold accident, contact us for a no-charge consultation. We recently obtained $520,000 and $650,000 awards for construction workers working at dangerous heights, and have experience in working with families adversely affected by a loved one's construction accident.
