New York labor law statutes provide protection

Property owners, general contractors, sub-contractors, project managers, tenants and others are required to maintain safe equipment and grounds for workers, who often suffer devastating or even deadly injuries when these parties fail to address safety concerns.  In some states in the U.S., construction workers may be limited to workers’ compensation benefits when they are injured.  In New York, however, specific New York Labor Law statutes provide further protection for individuals employed in the construction industry.
