In New York, injured workers are entitled to seek compensation if the construction company failed to provide a proper level of protection and this negligence led to the injury. This law was established to hold construction firms accountable for scaffolding injury cases.
Safety of the construction worker is also at the center of Labor Law § 241. Under this law, it is a requirement that employers must provide proper safety equipment to all construction workers. § 241 covers a wide range of activities and details how a site must be equipped and constructed, among other guidelines.
