From the numerous ongoing MTA projects (the Second Avenue subway, LIRR East Side Access, and expansion of the # 7 Subway line) to the erection of record-setting towers that will alter the City’s skyline, New York City is in the middle of a construction boom.
Despite the known dangers that breathing construction dust and fumes can pose, workers are rarely provided with proper and necessary respiratory protection to guard them from developing serious permanent respiratory conditions including silicosis, asthma, RADS, COPD and bronchitis. This failure to provide workers with the proper protection is a violation of the New York State Labor Law.
Bringing a claim or lawsuit for a construction related respiratory injury can be extraordinarily complex. These cases involve an intimate knowledge of the New York State Labor Law and the science behind the respiratory conditions that can impact construction workers.
Through our successful World Trade Center related work, Cannata, Hendele & Cannata, LLP has developed an understanding of respiratory conditions, how they develop, and their impact on the lives of the individuals that suffer from them. Together with doctors, scientists, engineers, and epidemiologists, we have the experience and tools necessary to successfully bring your case in this complex area of the law.
