Years Of Experience With Scaffolding Accidents
New York Labor Law Section 240 is intended to protect construction workers from the extraordinary risks that they face when working in or around scaffolds and lift devices at building sites. Scaffolds may collapse. Workers may fall from scaffolding structures. Falling debris originating on a higher level of a scaffold may strike a worker.
Construction workers throughout the New York City metro region have been relying on the skills and experience of Albert Buzzetti & Associates for more than a decade. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident.

Workers’ Compensation And Third-Party Liability
We handle workers’ compensation claims in a timely manner to protect our clients’ rights to full benefits after a construction accident involving scaffolding. At the same time, we leverage the provisions of scaffolding-related labor laws to secure monetary relief for construction workers who have put their lives at risk in a construction capacity.
A third party, such as a landowner, a contractor or subcontractor, or a building supervisor, may be liable. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a scaffolding accident in New York or New Jersey, it is important to have a knowledgeable construction law attorney investigate as soon as possible. Did construction site supervisors comply with OSHA regulations regarding scaffolding design, construction, inspection and use?
