Construction Accidents/New York Labor Law

Harrington, Ocko & Monk, LLP has vast experience representing owners, general contractors, construction managers, and subcontractors in the defense of labor law violations and negligence claims arising out of catastrophic construction accidents. Our attorneys regularly provide same-day assistance to contractors as “first responders” when a catastrophic construction accident has occurred and provide proactive consultation on risk management and potential fraud often before the claim is even brought. Our attorneys routinely obtain summary judgment dismissals, defense verdicts, and favorable mediated settlements in construction accident cases involving allegations of scaffold defects, failure to provide adequate safety devices, New York State industrial code violations, falling object injuries, and worksite slip and falls. Our attorneys are also experts at enforcing the indemnification and insurance provisions of construction agreements to transfer liability from owners and general contractors to the parties and employers responsible for the conditions and work giving rise to these injury claims.

We offer highly experienced and accomplished insurance defense attorneys utilizing a broad network of resources.
