Proner & Proner Holds At-Fault Parties Accountable
Identifying parties at-fault for a construction accident can be a difficult task. If you or a loved one is a construction worker who was injured on-site, you may be entitled to seek worker’s compensation benefits from your employer, which can provide compensation for medical treatment, partial wage replacement, or disability benefits.
Establishing that a third-party has liability for a construction accident can be complicated. At Proner & Proner, our attorneys work diligently to thoroughly investigate your accident and collect the evidence needed to prove a third-party’s legal responsibility. Other parties that may have liability for a construction accident include:
- Contractors and subcontractors
- The site’s property owner
- Architects and engineers
- Tool and equipment manufacturers
You may even be entitled to pursue a claim against your employer if your employer has cut corners on safety.
Our Brooklyn construction accident attorneys can help you evaluate your legal rights and options and help you maximize the compensation you receive for your injuries and damages, especially if you pursue both workers’ compensation claims and third-party personal injury claims.
Frequently Asked Questions About Constructions Accidents In Brooklyn, NY
If you are a construction worker who is injured on a job site, you can first file a workers’ compensation claim against your employer. Workers’ compensation can provide benefits such as medical treatment for your injuries, partial wage replacement if you miss time from work, and disability benefits if you are unable to return to work. If your construction accident was caused by a third party, or if you were an innocent bystander injured by a construction accident, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party for damages including medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and lost quality of life.
If you can file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, you are required to give your employer notice of your claim within 30 days of the accident. If you need to file a workers’ compensation claim with the state to secure benefits you believe you are entitled to, you must file your claim within two years of the accident. If you wish to file a personal injury lawsuit, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file your lawsuit. Failure to timely file your claim can lead to the permanent rejection or dismissal of your claim.

About Brooklyn, NY
Brooklyn is a borough of New York City, coterminous with Kings County, New York. Brooklyn/Kings County is the most-populous county in New York State and the second-most populated county in the U.S. Brooklyn is also New York City’s most populous borough and the second-largest borough by land area. Brooklyn was founded in 1646 as the village of “Breuckelen” in the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam, named for the town of Breukelen, Netherlands. Brooklyn was an independent city until 1898, when it was consolidated as a borough as part of New York City. For much of its history, Brooklyn has been a community with neighborhoods serving as ethnic enclaves. However, in recent years Brooklyn has been redeveloping as a more avant-garde community, with economic activity refocusing on entrepreneurship, high technology, and art and design.
