New York Labor Law 200:

Also known as the New York Negligence Protection Law, is a state law that provides certain protections for injured workers due to their employer's negligence. The law requires employers to take reasonable care to ensure that their workplace is safe and free from hazards, and it imposes liability on employers for injuries resulting from their negligence.

Labor Law 200 also provides certain defenses for employers, including the defense of comparative negligence. New York's Labor Law 200 is complex, and it can be challenging to determine whether or not an employer is liable for an injury sustained by an employee. If you have been injured at work, you should speak with an experienced New York workers' compensation attorney to discuss your rights and options under the law.

New York Labor Law 240:

Also known as the "scaffolding law," provides special protections for workers required to work at heights. If you were injured while working on a scaffold, you might be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

To recover under Labor Law 240, you must show that your injuries were caused by a lack of safety equipment or an inadequately maintained scaffold. Personal injury lawyers who are experienced in handling construction accident cases can help you investigate the cause of your accident and gather the evidence needed to prove your case. If you have been injured in a scaffolding accident, don't wait - contact a personal injury lawyer today to learn more about your rights.

What To Do After a Scaffolding Accident Occurs?

If you or someone you love has been injured in a scaffolding accident, it is vital to take quick action to preserve evidence for a potential lawsuit:

  1. Seek medical attention for any injuries sustained in the accident.
  2. Take photos of the accident scene and gather any witnesses' contact information. It is also essential to save any damaged equipment or personal belongings.
  3. Be sure to keep all medical records and receipts related to the accident.

These steps will make you better positioned to pursue compensation for your injuries through a New York Labor Law 240 lawsuit.

New York Labor Law 241:

Protects workers engaged in demolition and groundwork from injuries. The law requires employers to provide workers with a safe workplace and take all necessary precautions to protect them from harm. This labor law is set in place to protect workers from more than falls or injuries from elevated job sites. The law imposes strict liability on employers for injuries resulting from negligence from not properly overseeing a job site and ensuring all work zones remained hazard-free. It focuses on groundwork such as excavation and demolition but also includes the overall concern of safety equipment.
