Injured Workers Have Legal Rights

By Evan M. Goldberg

New York State Law provides special protection and accountability to workers who are injured on jobs involving construction, painting, roofing, renovating, demolition, cleaning, excavating, and related procedures.  These laws protect all workers, regardless of their immigration or residency status.  Since undocumented workers are often victimized by unsafe work sites, there are many cases in court involving serious injuries of such workers, and the devastating effects that life-long impairments have on their families.  Citizens, residents, those on a visa, or those in the country without legal permission are all entitled to have their grievances heard in court.

If you have been injured by a fall, a falling object, hazardous substances, dangerous equipment or machinery, or even by a co-worker, it is very important to immediately contact an attorney.

Workers compensation provides payment of medical bills and lost earnings, but that is usually only a small portion of what has been lost.  Pain and suffering, no matter how severe and permanent, are not compensated by workers compensation.

Although an injured worker who is receiving workers compensation from his employer cannot sue his employer for pain and suffering, there is often another party that can be sued, such as the owner, general contractor, architect, equipment seller or supplier, or any other responsible party.  Even if those parties played no role in the accident itself, they can still be responsible under the law.  All participants in a construction project have responsibility to ensure a safe work site, and to prioritize worker safety over profit.

Workers can often sue even if it seems that the accident was their own fault. People are human and make mistakes.  That’s what laws providing for safe equipment and practices are all about.

Bringing a lawsuit against a party other than your employer does not affect your right to receive money from workers compensation during the lawsuit.

There are very strict timelines to bring a lawsuit, so when an accident occurs, you should consult an attorney as soon as possible.  Aside from not being able to sue after the deadline has passed, early contact with an attorney makes the chance of success more likely for a number of legal and practical reasons.

The construction companies, their lawyers, their insurance companies and their investigators often get to work as soon as the accident happens, so that they can be in a better position to defend against a lawsuit.

Injured workers should waste no time, and hire experienced, knowledgeable, dedicated attorneys to protect their rights.

Soon after an accident workers are often confronted and pressured by their employers or insurance investigators, to provide a detailed statement.  Promises to pay medical bills and assurances of continued work should not fool a seriously injured worker into signing away his rights.   There is no obligation to answer anyone’s questions.

Injured workers should not speak with anyone about the accident or their injuries, or fill out any forms, or sign anything, until first consulting with a lawyer.  This is also true for any accident, including car accidents, property accidents, product accidents, sidewalk accidents and medical malpractice.

Free consultations, with no obligation of payment, and visits to the home or hospital are available.  There is no downside to asking a lawyer for advice or whether you have a case, whether it is for a work accident or any accident.

Evan Goldberg consulted as authority for car accident liability in New York State

By Andrew Stickler

A Suffolk County police officer who abruptly braked on a highway service road was partially responsible for the resulting crash between two other cars, the state’s top court ruled.

The decision, released yesterday by the New York State Court of Appeals, clarifies the legal responsibility of drivers who cause crashes they are not directly involved in, said Evan Goldberg, chairman of the trial lawyers for the New York State Bar Association.  “Some people are under the impression that there must be contact to establish liability,” Goldberg said. “However, all that is required is that negligent conduct put a sequence of events in motion that result in an injury.”

Construction accidents; it’s usually not the worker’s fault; contractors required to keep them safe

Evan Goldberg: Construction accidents; it’s usually not the worker’s fault; contractors required to keep them safe.

Spring Valley, NY Construction Accident Lawyer

With training, you have to be careful not to shift the responsibility for providing a safe work site onto a worker who is unsophisticated or uneducated. So it’s easy to say when an accident occurs that, well, the worker wasn’t being careful or he wasn’t trained properly. But in fact, there’s an overriding responsibility of the owner, the general contractor, the construction manager, to make sure that the work site itself is safe. Listen, the construction industry has been in existence for a very, very long time. It’s a learned industry full of engineers. People go to school for this. People have degrees and all the sorts of issues that arise on a construction site. The concept that accidents just happen has no place on a well-run legally compliant work site. It just has no place because we hold construction managers and owners and general contractors and contractors on jobs to the standard of prioritizing safety over profit. But unfortunately, many times we see that just the reverse takes place.

Why I became President – The important role of trial lawyers in advocating for justice and equality

Evan Goldberg discusses Why I became President – The important role of trial lawyers in advocating for justice and equality with “City & State TV.”

Speaker 1:  So why did you become a lawyer? Well,

Speaker 2: Well, as a third generation lawyer, my grandfather was a lawyer in the great depression and my father was a Supreme court justice in New York state, many assumed I would just be steered towards the law because of my family, but it was really more that I developed a love of the law.  When I was a teenager, I would watch movies such as “To kill a Mockingbird.” And I would observe the history of leaders who fought for justice and societal equality. And I saw.  I saw early on, the important role of the trial lawyer in advocating for justice and equality among all. And it’s something that I chose to dedicate my life towards and I’ve never looked back.  And, you know, my father approved of course.

Speaker 1: And why did you assume the presidency of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association?

Speaker 2: Well, as I said, our mission is to promote a safer and healthier society. It’s something I deeply believe in.  Lawyers have had a very important role over the years in making sure that negligent conduct is addressed and corrected. Many of the safety initiatives that we take for granted are there because lawyers stood up for the little guy and lawyers made a difference, and that’s something that I’ve always wanted to do.  When I’m in the courtroom, when I’m fighting for a client’s case, it’s a microcosm of America to me, where all thoughtful discourse is entertained, the truth is sought and justice is done.

Speaker 1:  Great. Thanks for coming in today.

Injuries from elevation related hazards are among the most prevalent in the construction industry and have the greatest effect on workers. They have the potential to cause the greatest harm when people fall from great heights or when objects fall upon them. The labor law, the scaffold safety law, which is what I believe you’re referring to, has protected workers who have been working at heights for over a hundred years in New York and New York, by comparison has enjoyed, one of the best safety records in construction in the country. And even with that, it’s still staggering, the amount of accidents that exist. So those who would seek to repeal the law are misguided because there is absolutely no reason to take away the safeguards that we have in place that have facilitated the construction of this city, of this state, all the buildings that you see around you were erected with the protections of the scaffold law in place.

And the only reasons being proffered to take away the protections to workers are because, insurance costs too high, but they don’t prove it. They don’t prove it at all. And in fact, the insurance industry, the carriers are reporting record profits, record profits. So there’s no justification there. Another thing we heard in recent years was that construction is stagnated.  Well, construction is booming. Look around.  Everywhere throughout the state, construction is seeing a surge and it’s cyclical. It goes through ups and downs and ups and downs over the last a hundred plus years, all with the labor law in place, all with New York valuing the safety and well being of the New York worker and his or her family. That’s something that should never, ever change.
