Understanding New York Scaffold Law and Your Rights
New York Labor Law Section 240 is unique among most states' construction injury laws. This statute provides strict liability for all contractors in New York regarding scaffold accidents. In simple terms, this means that the contractor or other third party responsible for job site injuries has to pay for all damages resulting from scaffold accidents on the site.
In New York, if our Bronx scaffolding accident lawyer can establish a violation of New York Labor Law 240, the owner and contractors are strictly liable for the plaintiff's injuries.
Don't wait — contact us now at (718) 514-7886. We offer free consultations so you can talk with our scaffolding accident lawyers in the Bronx to see what we can do to help you get the compensation you need.

Bronx Scaffold Accident Claims: Local Realities and Practical Next Steps
Construction in the Bronx often means tight sidewalks, constant foot traffic, and elevated work happening right above the public—conditions that can turn a missing guardrail, unsecured plank, or poorly maintained ladder into a life-changing fall. Workers also face the everyday realities of Bronx job sites: crowded staging areas, rushed schedules, debris moving overhead, and frequent scaffold and sidewalk-shed setups around active buildings.
If you were hurt on a scaffold in the Bronx, it’s common to feel immediate pressure from every direction—medical bills piling up, time off work you can’t afford, and unanswered questions about who is responsible. New York Labor Law 240 can be a powerful protection after a height-related injury, but the steps you take early can affect your ability to pursue full compensation.
In many Bronx construction injuries, there are also important records and agencies that may be involved. These entities exist to help document safety issues and workplace incidents, including:
- NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) (permits, site safety oversight, violations, and stop-work orders)
- New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (work injury benefits and related filings)
- OSHA (federal workplace safety complaints and investigations)
- NYPD/FDNY (incident response and reports when emergency services are called)
- New York State Supreme Court, Bronx County (where many injury lawsuits in the Bronx are filed)
We also know that many Bronx workers worry about retaliation, immigration status, or language barriers when they report a fall or a falling-object injury. You deserve clear guidance about your rights and options—without added stress—so you can focus on treatment and getting your finances back under control.
If you were injured on a ladder or scaffold in the Bronx, Park & Nguyen can help you understand what New York scaffold law may allow, what documentation matters, and how to pursue compensation for medical care, missed income, and pain and suffering.
