Common Causes of Construction Accidents in New York

New York’s booming construction industry—spanning Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and beyond—sees frequent accidents due to:

  • Negligence: Failure to follow OSHA safety regulations or provide proper training.

  • Site Hazards: Unsecured scaffolding, unprotected edges, or poor site maintenance.

These incidents can result in catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, or broken bones. As your construction accident lawyer in New York, Veridian Legal investigates every detail to build a strong case.

Client Reviews

    “I rarely leave reviews, but I am incredibly grateful for Daniel Szalkiewicz and this firm. I researched for days on end to find a reputable and very knowledgeable attorney in my hometown state that could help me get some concrete answers on my constitutional rights as an author for an upcoming published book. With no success, I was advised to contact a NY attorney across the country. This firm was the 2nd firm I called, as the first didn't pick up. Daniel answered the phone after 2 rings. I thought I was going to get the run around like all other attorneys I had previously contacted, but not with Daniel. Not only did he respect my concerns, he went above and beyond to take an immense amount of time allowing me to explain everything.

    Daniel and his team worked on my case for years...due to covid. He's fair, responsive and got the judgment I deserved. So thankful to him and his team for all their efforts and time.

    I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Daniel! He was honest, straightforward, worked efficiently and resolved my case. I normally dread interacting with attorneys. What a breath of fresh air!

    Daniel has gone above and beyond with me and I am grateful to have him. I talked to many lawyers and I don't feel like anyone that I talked to would have compared.
