Geneseo, New York, Construction Accident Lawyers
Every day, a construction worker faces the possibility of an accident while on the job. A crane accident, a trench collapse, a fall from a ladder can cause devastating injuries.
When a job site injury does occur, the workers' compensation system can pay for medical care, rehabilitation and lost wages.
In many construction accident cases, however, there are additional sources of compensation. When the accident is the fault of a third party, or when it involves a ladder or scaffolding, the injured worker may be able to obtain compensation far exceeding that obtained from workers' compensation.
At Jones & Skivington, we obtain compensation for victims of construction accidents involving third parties and those involving ladders and scaffolding. We work to obtain compensation that can help our clients rebuild their lives.

Compensation for Victims of Construction Accidents
Jones & Skivington is highly experienced in cases involving ladder falls, scaffolding falls and other types of construction accidents. We understand the law, and how to use it to get compensation for our clients.
Our attorneys will work to build a strong and persuasive case designed to maximize the compensation you receive.
New York's Labor Law 240-241 is especially useful in this regard. It places strict liability on the contractor, some subcontractors, and the property owner in cases involving falls from ladders and scaffolding. We are thoroughly familiar with the various aspects of this law and will aggressively pursue your claim.
Maximizing Compensation From All Sources
In a third-party construction accident case, two possible sources of compensation exist — the workers' compensation system and the insurance company for the liable party. It is extremely important that both claims are coordinated and pursued properly. A misstep in one claim can prevent you from succeeding in the other claim.
Jones & Skivington has successfully handled a large number of cases involving both third-party construction claims and workers' compensation claims. We understand how one affects the other, and will take steps to ensure that both claims are pursued properly.
Our goal in your case will be to maximize the compensation you receive from all sources.
