Scaffold and Ladder Accidents on Construction Sites Cause Serious Injuries

Many of our clients at Morgan Levine are construction workers who are injured when they fall off of a scaffold or ladder while on a job site.  The scaffold or ladder is usually defective in some way, causing it to shake or wobble.  The end result is a construction worker falling from a height and sustaining injuries.

Most of our clients sustain knee or shoulder injuries when they fall.  Almost every worker injures their head, neck or back when they hit the ground.  This is just the nature of such a serious fall.  Most workers try to finish the work day, while others are just too injured to do so.

All of these injured workers are entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits when they are hurt this way.  It does not matter whether the worker is a US citizen or here illegally.  The law does not distinguish between union or non-union worker. The attorneys at Morgan Levine ensure all possible rights and benefits are given to our clients.

Some people can return to work after a short period of time while others never return to work.  Either way, all workers are entitled to compensation for the injuries they sustain in construction site accidents.  

Some of our cases resolve in the low to mid six figure range while others reach mid to high seven figures, depending upon the injury and manner in which the construction site accident happens.  Regardless of how much a case is worth, the injured client gets 100% of the effort of their lawyers at Morgan Levine Dolan.  This is what separates our law firm from most others.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction site accident, contact Duane Morgan or Jared Levine at 212-785-5115
