When working in multi-level structures, construction workers need a safe way to get from one level to the next. This is referred to as providing vertical passage. State law requires that elevators, ramps, stairways or some other form of safe passage are available for workers to use. At a minimum, ladders that are tall enough to gain access to the next level must be readily available.

Without a way to safely access higher levels of the structure, workers are left to find their own way up. This frequently involves the use of haphazard and insufficient ladders or ramps and other makeshift modes of vertical passage that put the construction worker at unnecessary risk. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a construction accident involving the failure to provide vertical passage, you should speak to a New York workplace injury lawyer as soon as possible.

At the law firm of Law offices of Sanford Rosenblum, I have helped countless construction workers to recover full and fair compensation for serious injuries suffered due to the negligence of contractors who cost containment and convenience ahead of worker safety. You can rely on us to do everything in my power to secure the compensation you need to recover from your injuries.

Fighting for Injured Construction Workers

These types of cases can be extremely complex. The attorneys representing the contractor will do their best to interpret the law in a way that makes their client’s conduct appear legal. When you hire my firm, I will build the strongest possible case to support your claim for damages.

The injuries suffered in accidents involving the lack of vertical passage can be life changing and sometimes fatal. I vigilantly seek compensation for your medical care, rehabilitation, lost wages, retraining and any other damages appropriate to your case. While I always seek to negotiate a fair settlement in every case, I are fully prepared to take your case to court in order to protect your interests. If your loved one was killed in the accident, I can help you pursue a wrongful death claim.
