About this kind of case
How long do construction accident cases take?
Usually 1 to 3 years. Serious injuries can take longer because the site and equipment have to be looked into.
What can I get money for?
Medical bills, lost pay, pain and suffering, injuries that last, and future care. New York has special laws that protect construction workers, especially in falls from heights.
