New York Construction Liability Defense Lawyer
A construction accident liability case more often than not leads to litigation among multiple entities, possibly including the following:
- Property owners
- General contractors
- Subcontractors
- Builders and developers
- Construction managers
- Equipment manufacturers
- Equipment leasing companies
- Maintenance and repair services
Strict Liability for Owners
In the event of an elevation-related injury or other height-related injury, New York laws stipulate strict liability for the site owner and contractors. This means that the property owner and contractors often have few defenses if a worker falls from a scaffold, crane or roof at a construction site. An aggressive defense in this case typically requires the ability to make sure that liability is spread properly among all responsible parties, along with a deep technical understanding of the law.
