Frequently Asked Questions

Building Justice for New York’s Workers — One Case at a Time.

Seek medical attention right away, report the accident to your supervisor, and document the scene if possible. Then, contact a construction accident lawyer in New York to protect your rights before speaking with insurance representatives.

In most cases, injured workers are covered under New York’s workers’ compensation system, which prevents direct lawsuits against employers. However, you may have a third-party claim against negligent contractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers — and Redmond Law Firm can help identify those responsible.

The value of your claim depends on factors like injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and long-term impact. Our attorneys will evaluate your case and fight to recover maximum compensation for your damages.

New York follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault — but our lawyers will work to minimize that impact.

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. However, deadlines can vary, especially if a government entity is involved. Contact Redmond Law Firm as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed on time.
