At Cass And Peters, a respected New York law firm, we support the brave professionals who build our bridges, shape our skylines, and carve tunnels beneath our cities. Bridge builders, ironworkers, and tunnel workers play an essential role in creating and maintaining the infrastructure that connects our communities and supports our daily lives. Their work is indispensable and carries significant risks. We work to protect their rights when injuries occur.
Bridge builders construct the massive structures that span rivers, valleys, and other obstacles. They lay deep foundations and place steel beams high above the ground. Working at great heights significantly increases the risk of falls, which can lead to severe injuries such as:
Falls or being struck by falling objects can cause fractures.
Even with helmets, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) from falls or flying debris pose a high risk.
Falls from heights can damage the spinal cord and lead to long-term disability.
At Cass And Peters, we recognize the critical importance of these professionals and dedicate ourselves to ensuring their rights are protected and their injuries are compensated.
Ironworkers shape the skeletons of our skyscrapers, bridges, and industrial structures while working with heavy materials and machinery. Common injuries among ironworkers include:
Heavy machinery or materials can pin workers and cause severe crush injuries.
Handling sharp tools and heavy machinery can lead to deep cuts or loss of limbs.
The physical demands of lifting, bending, and welding can result in chronic pain and injuries to muscles, tendons, and joints.
Ironworkers face these risks daily, and at Cass And Peters, we commit to advocating for their safety and compensation when accidents occur.
Tunnel workers carve out the subterranean pathways that support urban infrastructure while working in confined, poorly ventilated spaces. Their unique hazards lead to specific injuries such as:
Dust, chemicals, and poor air quality can cause long-term respiratory problems.
Tunnel collapses can result in crush injuries, broken bones, or even fatalities.
The loud machinery and equipment used in tunneling can cause permanent hearing damage.
Our firm ensures these essential workers receive the support and protection they deserve.
Given the inherent dangers of these professions, bridge builders, ironworkers, and tunnel workers need robust legal support if they suffer injuries on the job. At Cass And Peters, we specialize in worksite accidents and offer comprehensive legal services to injured workers. We secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages, ensuring our clients get the support they need to recover and return to work if possible.
At Cass And Peters, we view bridge builders, ironworkers, and tunnel workers as the unsung heroes of our modern infrastructure. Their work is both vital and perilous, demanding high skill, dedication, and resilience. Supporting these workers, especially when they are injured, is not just a legal obligation but also a societal duty. With our experienced legal advocacy, injured workers can navigate the complexities of compensation and recovery, ensuring fair treatment and the ability to return to their essential roles in building our world.
Remember, at Cass And Peters, we stand up for you as advocates for ironworkers in NYC, committed to protecting the rights of bridge builders, ironworkers, and tunnel workers. We ensure that these essential professionals receive the compensation and support they need when injuries occur, prioritizing their safety and well-being.
