Falling Objects

/

New York City builds up — not out. A huge portion of construction work is performed at lofty heights, leaving those working near the ground vulnerable to objects falling from above. Regardless of whether danger comes in the form of crumbling debris or dropped tools, falling objects reach the ground at high speeds and leave construction workers exposed to serious injury or death.

Some of the falling objects commonly causing serious injuries or wrongful death include:

  • Bricks, cinder blocks and crumbling facade
  • Support beams
  • Scaffolding, railing and planks
  • Wires and cables
  • Metal objects such as pipes, fittings, duct work and sheet metal
  • Handheld tools

Ladder Falls

A ladder fall can leave you with serious injuries and steep medical bills. It may keep you out of work, making it difficult for you to pay your bills and put food on the table. If you have been injured in a ladder fall or other construction accident, it is important to have an experienced ladder accident lawyer on your side.

At Eisenberg & Baum, we represent people who have been injured in construction accidents involving ladder falls and other falls from heights. Our New York construction accident attorneys will stand up for your rights against insurance companies that want to limit or deny your compensation.

Falls from heights are among the most common causes of injuries on construction sites. Workers who fall from extension ladders, scaffolding and other high areas can suffer spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and other catastrophic injuries.

In any construction accident case, it is important to investigate the circumstances of the accident to identify liable parties. In a ladder fall, the liable party may be your employer, a contractor, the ladder manufacturer or someone else.

Whoever was at fault, it is important to seek full and fair compensation for the injured. Our New York ladder accident lawyers can help you explore all avenues of compensation, including workers’ compensation and personal injury claims.

New York City factory workers understand that their workplace contains a long list of dangers.

Scaffolding Falls & Accidents

/

Workers in many occupations rely on safe, secure scaffolding to perform their jobs. When safety precautions are not taken, workers can suffer severe and catastrophic injuries from collapsing scaffolding, falling objects and other hazards.

Federal and New York laws are in place to protect construction workers, painters, roofers and other people who work on and around scaffolding. When construction site managers, scaffolding contractors and other parties fail to follow safety regulations, the lives of workers are put at risk.

Our New York Accident Attorneys Can Help

Eisenberg & Baum’s New York construction accident attorneys have years of experience establishing the facts of accident cases, filing lawsuits when necessary, and helping workers recover for their injuries and lost wages.

When handling a scaffolding accident case, there are a number of questions to consider, such as:

  • Was the scaffolding properly constructed?
  • Were safety concerns properly addressed?
  • Were the scaffolding platforms properly secured?
  • Were workers provided with safety precautions such as safety harnesses and netting?

Construction Accidents

/

If you work in the construction industry, you are vulnerable to suffering a wide range of workplace accidents. If you have been injured, it is important to explore your legal options.

At Eisenberg & Baum, LLP, our New York construction accident lawyers help workers who have suffered injuries on construction sites, at factories, and using tools and equipment. We can help you explore all of your legal options, including workers’ compensation and personal injury claims. We are dedicated to helping you obtain the compensation you need and deserve.

If you have been injured in a construction accident, your workers’ compensation coverage can allow you to recover compensation for your medical bills and a portion of your lost wages.

Construction Accident Lawsuits

If your injury was wholly or partly caused by a negligent third party, you may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Personal injury law allows compensation for pain and suffering, and other elements not covered by workers’ compensation law.

In construction accidents, this means that you can sue parties that are not your employer, including construction site owners, general contractors, subcontractors and other parties. Our attorneys can help you explore all of your legal options, so you can pursue the maximum amount of compensation allowed under the law.

Bicycle Accidents

/

Standing Up for Injured Bike Riders

Bicycle travel is common in New York City. People who ride bikes for work or recreation are put at risk by careless motorists who fail to respect their rights. If you or someone close to you have been injured in a bicycle accident, it is important to have an experienced New York bicycle accident attorney on your side.

At Eisenberg & Baum, our New York auto and bicycle accident lawyers represent people who have been injured by the careless or negligent actions of others, including people injured in bicycle accidents. Our attorneys are determined to help you obtain the compensation you need and the justice you deserve.

Our Bicycle Accident Injury Lawyers

Bicyclists share most of the rights and responsibilities of car and truck drivers, but those rights are not always respected. Whether you were injured road biking in the country; commuting to work in the city; involved in a bike lane collision; working as a bike messenger, bike taxi, bike courier; or peddling through Central Park, it is important to protect your rights to compensation.

Our experienced New York trial attorneys know how to value claims and pursue maximum compensation for bicycle accident injuries. Since these accidents typically involve a relatively unprotected person against a large motor vehicle, the resulting injuries can be severe and life threatening.

We will help you pursue compensation that pays for your medical bills (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, and other hardships.

We also understand how expensive bicycles can be. We will work to get you full value for your damaged bicycle and bicycle gear.

Motorcycle Accidents

/

Protecting the Rights of Injured Motorcyclists

Most motorcycle accidents are the result of careless and inattentive car and truck drivers. While motorcyclists have the same rights as other motorists, car and truck drivers don’t always respect those rights. The result of this negligence is all too often catastrophic injury and wrongful death.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a motorcycle accident, our New York personal injury attorneys at Eisenberg & Baum are here to stand up for your rights. We are dedicated to obtaining justice and compensation for injured motorcycle riders.

Our Motorbike Accident Lawyers

Most motorcycle accidents are the result of a car or truck driver simply not seeing the motorcycle. This can lead to situations such as:

  • A car pulling out in front of an oncoming motorcycle
  • A car turning left, crossing the path of a motorcycle passing through the intersection
  • A car changing lanes, crashing into the side of a motorcycle in an adjacent lane

But not seeing a motorcycle or moped is no excuse for inattentive, negligent driving. Our attorneys understand the hardships injured motorcycle riders face and are prepared to help.

We will put our skill and experience to work for you, to help you obtain compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, bike repairs or replacement, and other damages.

Pedestrian Accidents

/

Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable classes of victims involved in auto accidents. A pedestrian can be someone crossing the street, someone walking to get help because their car broke down, a member of a construction or clean-up crew working the side of the road, or even a Good Samaritan stopping to help a stranded motorist. The list goes on and on. What they have in common is that they are vulnerable to very serious injuries because powerful, fast-moving machines can do tremendous damage to us.

Accidents happen for many reasons, including drunk driving, driver inattention, distractions, speeding, extreme weather, heavy traffic, or poor road conditions. Children and the elderly are especially at risk amongst pedestrians, and every year, too many of our loved ones are hurt for the reasons listed above.

Our New York Personal Injury Firm Fights For You

At Eisenberg & Baum, our experienced New York auto and truck accident attorneys care about helping injured victims recover and get back to living their lives. Our attorneys are on your side every step of the way so you and your loved ones can rest easier at night.
