Every year, there are more than 700 construction accidents across New York City, resulting in a high risk of serious injury or death. All too often, these accidents are the result of negligent construction contractors or site owners, who fail to take appropriate caution to prevent injuries. As a result, workers will sustain harm they might have avoided if contractors and site owners had taken due care.
The Shikh Law Firm has decades of experience helping construction workers who have been injured on the job due to the negligence of their employers. We understand how difficult it can be for workers who have been seriously hurt, how it impacts their ability to work and support their families. That is why we work diligently with our clients to ensure they get the justice they rightly deserve.
We help workers with a variety of different types of construction accidents. These include:
- Falling accidents
- Injuries from falling objects

- Roadside construction accidents
- Injuries due to collapses or cave-ins
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
- Burn injuries
- Electrocutions
Construction contractors and site owners are legally responsible for ensuring that it is safe for workers to perform their jobs. However, they will often cut corners to save time or money, and it is the workers who often wind up paying the price of their careless behavior. That is why we work hard to get our clients the compensation they rightly deserve for the harm they have suffered.
