Hurt on a Throgs Neck construction site?
Falls from scaffolds. Falling tools. Trench collapse. Crane and hoist failures on Throgs Neck job sites. Throgs Neck sits on the East Bronx peninsula — the Throgs Neck Bridge, Fort Schuyler, SUNY Maritime, and the Locust Point waterfront. Bridge-corridor crashes, water-front construction injuries, and maritime-related claims. 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 Throgs Neck
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.
