Building Collapse/Roof Collapse Lawyers

Building and roof collapses can occur at various times during a construction project and can cause catastrophic injuries to the workers involved. When proper safety procedures and equipment are not followed, buildings and roofs in a partial construction or demolition state create hazardous conditions and risks for workers. If a worker is injured due to a building or roof collapse, he or she can file a lawsuit to obtain compensation for his or her injuries from the owner and general contractor for violations of New York Labor Law.

New York Law and Regulations

For example, New York law and regulations require that walls, chimneys and other parts of buildings or structures not be left unprotected in such a condition that parts will fall, collapse or weaken due to wind or vibration. Whether the accident is due to a lack of adequate support or reinforcement, falling objects, compromised structural integrity or improper demolition practices, when a wall or ceiling collapses, something was terribly wrong. If proper procedures are not followed, or if a worker falls, or is struck by falling debris, without the proper safety equipment being provided, the injured worker can establish a claim for fair compensation for his or her injuries.
