Frequently Asked Questions

What is New York Labor Law §240 and why does it matter for Brooklyn construction workers?

New York Labor Law §240, known as the Scaffold Law, provides absolute liability protection for construction workers injured by gravity-related accidents — falls from scaffolding, ladders, and elevated surfaces. Brooklyn’s active construction sector makes this one of the most frequently litigated personal injury statutes in Kings County. Workers injured on construction sites often have claims against both the contractor and the property owner under this law.

How does New York’s no-fault insurance affect Brooklyn accident victims?

New York requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage of at least $50,000, which pays medical expenses and 80% of lost wages regardless of fault. To pursue pain and suffering damages beyond PIP benefits, injuries must meet the “serious injury” threshold under Insurance Law §5102. A Brooklyn personal injury attorney can evaluate whether your injuries qualify and advise whether a third-party lawsuit is worthwhile.
