Hurt on a Morris Park construction site?
Falls from scaffolds. Falling tools. Trench collapse. Crane and hoist failures on Morris Park job sites. Morris Park houses Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center's main campus, and Jacobi Medical Center — one of the densest medical-employment areas in the Bronx. Workplace discrimination and harassment claims are a recurring pattern. 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 Morris Park
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.
