Read on to Learn More about Personal Injury Lawsuits

Below is critical information on personal injury lawsuits.
 

Construction can be a dangerous occupation, accounting for the third-highest rate of death by injury.
----National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health

By law, employers are required to do as much as they can to decrease the dangers inherent to any job. This obligation includes making the surrounding areas of the work site as safe as possible.
This obligation hadn't been met when a 47-year-old construction worker fell off elevated train tracks on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway in New York City. Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. filed a case (index no. 1752/03) in the County of Queens and in the Court of Claims against various defendants that were responsible for the safety of the site. The efforts of the Weitz & Luxenberg work accident team yielded a $1.5 million settlement the worker will now use to recover from the tragic and physically debilitating injuries.
