Construction Accident Injuries: Spinal Cord Injuries

Construction sites are home to many injuries, due to the nature of work that takes place on site. Workers are often working at great heights, using heavy equipment and machinery and having to use large building materials to complete their job. Many of the construction accidents are preventable, however, if only construction companies were meeting the safety standards required of construction sites.

It's not unusual for a construction worker to feel their injury is their own fault or for their employer to try and deny responsibility for the construction accident injury - but when you are injured with a life changing event like a spinal cord injury, severe back injury, neck injury or other disability-causing construction injury, you need a NY construction attorney to help you get the compensation you deserve for today's medical expenses and for your future financial needs.


Spinal cord and severe back construction injuries may be caused from one of the following common construction accidents:

• Crane accidents
• Falls or falling objects
• Construction machinery accidents
• Scaffolding accidents

Spinal Cord Construction Accidents Can Prevent You From Working Again

An injury to your spinal cord can be completely devastating physically - causing some people to become quadriplegics, and others to live a life in constant pain. Construction accidents with spinal cord injuries require immediate treatment, generally surgery, which can cost into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. After the initial treatment, spinal cord and back injuries require ongoing rehabilitation and physical therapy. Most construction workers with spinal cord injuries never return to work again.

Your construction accident injury may entitle you to worker's compensation. Worker's compensation may not cover all of your medical expenses and future financial needs. If your employer could have prevented your construction accident, it's possible an experienced New York construction accident attorney can investigate the accident and get you a settlement you deserve through a personal injury case.
