Construction is one of the most dangerous jobs in the nation. And, in a city like New York, it seems like something is always under construction. New York City – and Queens, in particular, has no shortage of construction sites. Unfortunately, accidents on these job sites are a relatively common occurrence.
According to the Department of Buildings, there were a total of 540 construction accidents across New York City in 2022. A total of 79 of these accidents were reported in the borough of Queens, accounting for nearly 15 percent of the city’s construction accidents.
In 2023, at least 79 construction workers were injured in accidents on Queens job sites, while at least two were killed. That year, Queens was responsible for 18 percent of the city’s construction accident fatalities.
New York City’s construction industry is heavily regulated by state and federal law. Despite this, accidents still happen on job sites just about every day. Most often, it’s because powerful construction companies, employers, and property owners prioritize profits over safety.
Some of the most commonly cited causes of Queens construction accidents include:

Report a construction accident (and resulting injuries) to your supervisor immediately, then seek prompt medical treatment at the closest emergency room to your Queens job site.
You’ll have two main options for recovering compensation for your construction accident injuries – workers’ compensation and/or a civil construction accident lawsuit.
Workers’ compensation can be an important lifeline when you’ve gotten hurt in a Queens construction site, providing you with benefits for:
However, benefits are limited and only available for a short period of time.
If you have the right to sue your employer for a violation of New York labor laws or another liable party – such as a property owner, architect, engineer, or manufacturer – it’s important to explore that opportunity.
Through a personal injury lawsuit, you’ll have the right to seek economic damages and non-economic damages for:
Punitive damages can also be awarded in civil disputes that move forward to trial.
Yes, but sharing blame could affect how much money you’ll be able to recover.
New York’s pure comparative negligence statute won’t apply to workers’ compensation claims, but it will impact civil lawsuits.
When you file a lawsuit, your damages will be reduced in direct proportion to your own negligence and contribution to your construction accident. If you hire our lawyer, we can work to minimize the amount of fault you’re assessed – so that you can get as much money as possible.
New York has strict time limits for claims related to construction accidents:
While there are times that the statute of limitations might vary, don’t expect to have extra time to take legal action after a construction accident in Queens. Once the filing deadline passes, you’ll give up the right to demand compensation for your losses.
