Construction Site Injuries in New York
Construction remains one of the most hazardous occupations in New York. From scaffolding collapses on high-rise sites to trench cave-ins and equipment malfunctions, job sites across the state often expose workers to unpredictable, high-risk conditions every day. These incidents can lead to crush injuries, electrical burns, or fall-related trauma, often leaving workers unable to return to their trade for weeks or months. Many injuries happen when crews lack proper fall protection,, machinery fails, or worksites are left in unsafe condition by third-party contractors. When multiple subcontractors, site managers, or property owners are involved, consulting a knowledgeable Syracuse construction site accident lawyer can help uncover the facts and hold the right parties accountable.
