Have you ever thought about how someone becomes a New York construction accident Attorney? It could start out as early as childhood or even before I imagine. What is sooner than childhood? That seems more like a philosophical question than one that would be on point here concerning construction accidents in New York. One would imagine the thing that would be behind the driving force that would want someone to enter into that profession would be their background. So that background could involve growing up on construction sites just in general. I know that for me, when I was growing up, I was on construction sites quite frequently because my father was a residential general contractor in Southampton, New York. And this is when as far back as I can remember, when I was walking or at least first learning how to walk, I would have a two belt on and be helping my father either on construction sites or around the home doing things to improve the household.
Perhaps another New York Construction accident attorney or two has a similar situation, or perhaps they have a different situation or background. I would imagine that there has to be some sort of Nexus with a construction site. So that could either be a physical presence at a construction site. It could also be someone having experienced or seen or heard about a site that involves construction. And just because the person is in New York at the time that they have chosen to act in that profession, it doesn’t mean that they grew up in New York, or were originally from New York, or that they are going to stay in New York. It could also be somebody who has worked on or in construction and construction sites having a construction background, that could also be either in New York or out of New York. There are a lot of ways that somebody could become or be interested in becoming a New York construction accident Attorney.
There are a fair amount of people who in this world start out in one career and then choose to go into another career. It’s pretty common for someone to say, I would make a good Lawyer. or you would make a good Lawyer. or I should go to law school. Or I was going to go to law school, but then I had a kid. Or I was going to go to law school and then something else happened. So people say all the time that they should’ve gone to law school. How they find their way to practicing New York construction accident law is probably a lot of different ways. However, once they get there, they would all seem to have at least some level of familiarity with Construction. And at the very least, some familiarity with Construction law, in particular accidents that occur on construction sites, also in particular in New York.
One of the questions that seems to come up quite often is the balance, or where is the balance between regulation in the context of construction sites, and safety? Some people of the view that safety on construction sites is of paramount importance, and others are of the view or could be of the view that safety comes at a cost, so to get everybody to be completely safe it would be cost prohibitive, and that means that there would could be a higher rate of accidents. And when there is a higher rate of actions, it means that more people get hurt. And when more people get hurt, it’s not a fun situation to be in both in terms of the workers on the construction site or other workers on the construction site, and the families of the workers who are at home who do not want their loved ones to be injured.
Construction accident sites happen at all stages of construction. This includes from the point where the ground or foundation is dug or there’s a hole in the ground, people can fall in the hole in the ground. To the end of the construction, where people are putting the finishing touches on and or when I say people I mean, construction workers are putting the finishing touches on. This could be friends that add a construction site. There could be somebody that is climbing a ladder, and when they climb to the top of the ladder, there is some sort of instability, and then the person falls. And it is not important at that point whether or not the person who fell actually installed the light or not, or was able to put it in. The important thing at that point is to get them to safety so that they are not hurt. And if they are hurt, they might want to call a New York Construction accident attorney.
Now with any lawsuit as you can probably imagine there are two sides. More accurately, there is a plaintiff and a defendant. When there is a plaintiff and there’s a definite defendant there is one plaintiff attorney and one defendant attorney. There could be more than one attorney on each side as well so it’s not only limited to one attorney for the plaintiff and one attorney for the defendant. And there could be more defendants as well. This means that for instance, and they’re usually particularly on big construction sites, more than one defendant. Those defendants could be the owner of the property, the general contractor, the specific subcontractor, and equipment, manufacturer, manufacturer, with tool, or a supplier, or any combination there of.
New York Construction Accident Attorney, or at least a good one who knows what year she is doing, would want to know all of the details that are relevant for the litigation at the construction site. The practice here at TheLawyerJames is to get all of the details as possible and be over inclusive rather than under inclusive because it’s very important that we get all of the information. And if a client or a potential client holds us back or holds back getting us the information, then it could make the difference between more recovery or less recovery or even no recovery. So you should leave it to the particular New York Construction accident attorney to gauge what information is important versus Wallace versus what information is not.
