Step 1: We Investigate Your Accident
The moment you hire us, our team gets to work building the foundation of your case. You don’t have to do any of this — we handle it all.
- We visit the accident site or send investigators
- We collect evidence: photos, videos, and safety inspection reports
- We interview witnesses and co-workers
- We obtain the OSHA report if one was filed
- We request police reports and incident reports
Step 2: We Handle All Your Medical Documentation
Your medical records are the backbone of your construction accident case. We work directly with your doctors and hospitals so you can focus on getting better.
- We collect all medical records, bills, and treatment notes
- We make sure your treatment is fully documented for maximum compensation
- If you need specialists, we can refer you
- You pay nothing upfront for medical treatment related to your case
Thorough medical documentation directly affects the value of your settlement. The more complete your records, the stronger the evidence of what your injuries cost you — now and in the future.
Step 3: We Build the Strongest Possible Case
This is where decades of experience with the construction accident lawsuit process makes the difference. We leave nothing on the table.
- We consult with experts: accident reconstruction, engineering, medical
- We identify all liable parties: employers, contractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers
- We calculate the full value of your case — current and future medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering
- We document every dollar so nothing is left out

Step 4: We Negotiate with the Insurance Companies
You will never speak to an insurance company directly. That’s our job.
- We handle all communication with insurance adjusters
- Do NOT accept any offer or sign anything without us
- Insurance companies try to settle fast and low — we push for the full value of your case
- We present the evidence, medical records, and expert reports
- Most construction accident cases settle at this stage without going to court
If an adjuster calls you before we’ve had a chance to intervene, do not answer their questions. Forward the call to us immediately — anything you say, even casually, can be used to reduce your compensation.
Step 5: We Go to Trial If Needed
If the insurance company won’t offer fair compensation, we file a lawsuit. Our trial lawyers have decades of New York courtroom experience.
- We prepare you for every step — depositions, hearings, testimony
- Going to trial does not cost you extra — our fee stays the same
- Many cases settle right before or during trial once the other side sees our evidence
We handle all types of construction accidents — see our practice areas.
