New York construction accidents can happen for a lot of different reasons. They can also result in a wide range of serious injuries that can have long-lasting effects. When New York construction accidents caused by negligent superintendents lead to injuries, it can be especially hard to accept.

Construction superintendents are responsible for nearly all aspects of the job site. When they are not accountable for the safety of others, danger is always around the next corner. Negligent superintendents can make mistakes:

  • Ordering malfunctioning equipment or unsafe products
  • Disobeying crucial building laws or regulations
  • Faulty inspections of work or worksites
  • Creating rushed timelines that put workers at risk
  • Encouraging dangerous work practices

A wide range of injuries can easily occur as a result of the accidents caused by these mistakes. As is especially the case when these accidents lead to hospitalization, the associated costs can quickly sky rocket.

Workers' compensation claims are usually totally insufficient to cover these costs, which were caused by a negligent superintendent in the first place. If you find yourself in this position, you should look into filing a personal injury claim with the help of a Manhattan construction injury lawyer.
