Protecting Your Rights After a Construction Site Injury: We’re on the Job When You Can’t Be in Binghamton, NY
Construction work is the backbone of growth and development in our communities. Across Upstate New York, including the southern tier, Binghamton, NY area, you see building happening. Whether you’re building skyscrapers in the city center or adding a new deck to a suburban home, construction workers face daily risks. Unfortunately, construction accidents happen, and when they do, knowing your rights and getting the proper representation is crucial. That’s where we come in: The Team at Stanley Law is on the job when you can’t be. Because a construction site injury can be serious and can put you out of work entirely, or worse.
Construction sites, whether they are located on vast commercial properties or confined residential spaces, are fraught with hazards. From high heights and heavy machinery to electrical risks and unstable structures, construction workers operate in some of the most dangerous conditions of any industry. When accidents occur, they can lead to severe injuries, long-term disability, or worse. Common construction site injuries include falls, electrocution, being struck by objects, and getting caught in or between equipment.
Knowing Your Rights After an Injury
Understanding your rights is the first step toward protection if you’re injured on the job. Workers’ compensation is designed to cover medical expenses and lost wages, but sometimes, it’s not enough. In some cases, you might be entitled to pursue additional claims if negligence played a role in your injury. This can include negligence on the part of a third party, inadequate safety measures, or defective equipment.
What to Do If You’re Injured on the Job
If you’re injured while working on a construction site, taking the following steps can be crucial:
– Seek Medical Attention: Prioritize your health and see a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.
– Report the Injury: Inform your supervisor or employer about the injury immediately.
– Document Everything: Keep detailed records of your injuries and any medical treatments. Take photos of your injuries and the accident scene if possible.
– Consult with an Attorney: Contact Stanley Law Offices to discuss your case. The sooner you get legal advice, the better protected your rights will be.

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility
