Manhattan Construction Accident Lawyers Fighting for Injured Workers
Manhattan's skyline is constantly evolving, with high-rise construction projects from Hudson Yards to Lower Manhattan creating some of the world's most challenging and dangerous work environments. Construction workers building Manhattan's towers face extreme risks—working at heights exceeding 1,000 feet, operating heavy cranes in confined urban spaces, and navigating complex infrastructure including subway construction beneath street level. When safety measures fail and workers are injured, New York Labor Law provides powerful legal protections that go far beyond standard workers' compensation.
