Bikhman & Vinbaytel, P.C. takes on complex and challenging personal injury cases. This page sums up the injury cases we handle. Each section links to more detail.
Construction accidents
We represent construction workers who were injured on construction sites. The accidents we handle include:
- falls from ladders, scaffolding and other heights
- falling objects
- demolition and excavation accidents
- heavy equipment, machinery and hoisting accidents
- electrical and elevator shaft accidents
- accidents caused by unsafe conditions, code violations, unsafe tools or missing safety equipment
Workers’ Compensation benefits only provide part of what an injured construction worker may be entitled to. A worker may also be able to bring a lawsuit against a third party that may be responsible for the accident.
If you are an undocumented immigrant who was injured on a construction site, don’t let your supervisor or employer stop you from reporting your injury.
