Construction Power Saw Injuries

Working with power saws and exposed blades is a dangerous activity that far too often results in serious injury. Serious injuries arise from the use of table saws, circular saws, miter saws, chop saws, wet saws and other cutting power tools such as angle grinders and reciprocating saws.

Construction Eye Injuries

Serious eye injuries often occur on new york construction sites due to workers not being provided with proper personal protective equipment. Approved eye protection is critical to construction workers and tradesmen engaged in cutting, grinding, chipping, welding and striking.

Pedestrian Sidewalk Accidents

The sidewalks of New York City are far too frequently poorly maintained. NYC has approximately 12,750 miles of sidewalks, and some are certainly better maintained than others.
