New York Construction Insurance Defense Lawyer
Serving our clients from start to finish
Whether you are a self-insured corporation or a major insurance provider, our experienced attorneys understand the complicated nature your construction site accident case. Over the years, we have developed a reputation as construction insurance defense lawyers who seek out every available remedy to protect your interests.
At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Shein, we pursue every available option. We conduct a thorough investigation into the facts to determine the responsible party. In some cases, employee negligence is the cause of injuries and we attempt to shift responsibility to the worker themselves if they failed to take safety precautions or were otherwise negligent. We also seek indemnification from other responsible parties on behalf of our clients.
We know what to expect
When a construction or maintenance worker is injured at the workplace as a result of negligence, they generally seek damages from any potentially responsible party including the building owner, contractors, subcontractors, and construction managers. We have represented all these parties.
Client-orientated insurance defense
With over a hundred years devoted to the practice of law, our attorneys combine the experience commonly associated with large defense firms and the personal service and attention to detail of a "smaller" law firm. Our construction insurance defense lawyers understand how important it is to promptly return phone calls and respond to our clients concerns with effective and sound legal advice.
Labor Law 240
We are well versed in the New York Industrial Labor Code and in particular New York Labor Law 240. Labor Law 240 has resulted in large costs for building owners and construction managers. Labor Law 240, also known as the "Scaffold Law," protects workers who fall from heights, by holding the building owner absolutely liable. Our attorneys have extensive experience fighting these cases. We conduct an intensive investigation in order to determine liability. Is a "recalcitrant worker" responsible for a failure to follow knows safety guidelines? As a building owner, you can be assured that we will seek every opportunity to protect your interests.
