Holes of any size present a significant hazard to construction workers. It is the responsibility of the contractor to see that necessary precautions are taken to ensure everyone’s safety. Failure to do so can result in serious injuries and may constitute negligence on the part of the contractor.

At Subin Law, we represent clients across the New York City metro area in a variety of complex construction site injury cases. Call our firm for a free consultation.
New York Lawyers Representing Victims Injured as a Result of an Uncovered Opening
Any hole on a construction site must be covered or barricaded. Some holes can be especially dangerous, including those planned for ventilation shafts or stairwells. A fall into holes of this size and depth could be fatal. The requirements are clear with regard to the safety measures that must be taken, and our personal injury attorneys work diligently to see that the negligent parties are held accountable for the harm they cause.
When you hire our firm, we aggressively pursue compensation for your injuries. We understand the types of injuries that can happen in these cases, which allows us to be much more proactive in seeking the right compensation for your case. While we seek to negotiate a fair resolution whenever possible, we prepare every case with the expectation that it may proceed to trial in order to protect our clients’ rights.
