Hurt on a Great Neck Plaza construction site?
Falls from scaffolds. Falling tools. Trench collapse. Crane and hoist failures on Great Neck Plaza job sites. Great Neck Plaza is the commercial heart of the Great Neck peninsula — Middle Neck Road and Bond Street shopping, the LIRR station, and dense weekday commuter traffic. Heavy Persian-American community presence with multilingual outreach a regular need. New York gives injured construction workers strong legal protection — owners and general contractors can be held responsible for gravity-related injuries (falls from heights, falling objects). Your immigration status does not matter.

What to know about construction accident cases in Great Neck Plaza
NY's scaffold law — absolute liability
Gravity-related construction injuries (falls from height, falling objects from above) trigger absolute liability on the owner and GC if a safety device was missing or inadequate. Comparative negligence is no defense.
NY workplace-safety law(6) — Industrial Code violations
Construction Industrial Code Rule 23 violations support (6) claims for a wider range of injuries — not just gravity-related. Scaffolding, ladders, hoisting, electrical work all covered.
Workers' Comp does NOT bar suit
You can collect Workers' Comp from your employer AND sue the property owner and general contractor under NY's scaffold law. Two recoveries from two different defendants.
Immigration status is irrelevant
NY courts have ruled (Balbuena v. IDR Realty) that immigration status does not bar a construction-injury claim and is generally NOT discoverable. We protect that from day one.
