Failure To Provide Vertical Passage

Failure To Provide Safe Vertical Access On Construction Sites

Under New York law, construction sites are required to have stairways, ramps or runways so that workers can access working levels above and below the ground level. If the nature or progress of the work does not allow for them, working ladders of sufficient height or other safe methods of access must be provided.

The absence of safe access to other levels of a construction project creates a serious hazard and can result in serious personal injuries to workers. If you or your loved one has been injured in a construction site accident that involved a lack of vertical access, be sure that you seek the advice of an experienced New York lawyer about the failure to provide vertical passage.

Protecting The Rights Of New York Construction Workers

Without vertical access provided, construction workers are forced to find a different way to get from one level to the next. This sometimes involves the use of makeshift ramps, climbing or jumping to another level; all of which leave the worker at considerable risk of injury. At the Cerchione Hurowitz Law Group LLP, law firm, we dedicate our entire practice to helping people who have been injured due to the negligence of another.

When you hire our firm, we will pursue every available option in an effort to recover compensation for your injuries.
