Common Accidents at Construction Sites in Queens
No matter how careful and safe you and your coworkers try to be, construction work is inherently dangerous and accidents are bound to happen. Heavy machinery, great heights, and exposed wiring are just a few of the dangers at construction sites.
Regardless of the type of accident you’ve been injured in at work, you can recover work comp benefits like missed work wages and payment of your medical expenses. The following are some common accidents that occur at construction sites in Queens:
- Electrocution accidents
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Falling objects
- Falling from a great height
- Machinery accidents
- Crushing incidents

Why Can’t I File a Work Comp Claim on My Own?
There’s no law that says you can’t file a workers compensation claim on your own; however, it’s not advisable. There are a lot of steps to filing a work comp claim, and it would be difficult for you to follow all those steps in an injured state.
If you don’t fill out the paperwork correctly or you fail to meet the required deadlines, you could miss out on your work comp benefits. Even if you do everything right, the insurer may still deny your claim. A denial could be financially devastating for you and your family.
You don’t have to take the chance of being denied by the insurance company when you work with a Queens construction injury attorney who handles workman’s comp cases every day.
