Construction accidents happen in various ways and negligence is not the only way to prove liability. The New York Labor Laws were made to provide construction workers with legal protections that exist in addition to a negligence action. A violation of NYS Labor Law Section 240 does not require proving negligence, but only that a construction worker was injured from a failure to provide proper safety devices when injured from a height. A worker who falls off a ladder or scaffold, or who is struck by a falling object only needs to prove that the safety devices provided for not adequate.
A construction worker is also entitled to compliance with the Industrial code safety laws and the failure to comply with those rules may result in liability against an owner of a building pursuant to NYS Labor Law Section 241(6).
Pursuant to the NYS Labor laws, the businesses responsible for a construction accident may include the owner of the property, the general contractor, and even a subcontractor depending upon the facts and circumstances.
