New York Injury Law is representing a construction worker who was seriously injured at a residential construction project in Ulster County. The case remains in litigation, but it illustrates something we see repeatedly: after an injury, accountability can be remarkably difficult to find.
After a Construction Injury, Responsibility Can Become Complicated
Before someone gets hurt, owners and contractors generally know who is doing the work and who is responsible for what. After a serious incident, stories can change. Responsibility gets pushed onto others—and frequently onto the injured worker himself.
The defendants in this case have denied responsibility, blamed our client, and pointed fingers at one another. Rather than accept a disjointed story, we challenge witnesses, follow inconsistencies, and keep asking questions until the evidence becomes clear.
Why New York Labor Law Cases Require Careful Investigation
That persistence is particularly important in New York Labor Law cases. Serious construction cases require more than knowing the law. They require recognizing when the story being offered does not fit the evidence and having the experience to expose why.
This case remains in active litigation. We will continue pressing for answers and building the case toward trial on behalf of our client.
