New York City Continues To See Construction Worker Accidents Due To Lack Of Implementation Of Stricter Laws

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 25, 2008 -- Following another tragic death of a New York Construction Worker, David H. Perecman, a veteran NYC construction accident lawyer (http://www.perecman.com/?pageId=378&rowId=13325) and co-founder of New York construction accident attorneys law firm Perecman & Fanning, points more blame to New York construction practices. The construction worker who tragically died this time was Kevin Kelly, 25 who was installing windows at the Laurel, 400 East 67th Street at First Avenue.

"This is starting to happen too often, even once was too many as these construction workers are dying from crane accidents and construction (http://www.perecman.com/?pageId=378&rowId=13325) mishaps that shouldn't be happening," said Mr. Perecman, of Perecman and Fanning, leading New York City construction accident lawyers. "This particular construction site had been cited by city inspectors for 25 code violations during the last year. Without laws protecting these workers and nobody wanting to make any changes, construction accidents will continue to rise until changes are made. This is now the third death in the last couple months with still no changes in the legislature" According to the New York Times, 10 people died since January this year in other New York City construction and crane accidents.

David Perecman is the current Secretary of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association (NYSTLA) and a chair of its Construction Accident Law Committee. "Every year there are efforts by groups like "Unshackle Upstate" and parts of the New York Chamber of Commerce and other pro-business groups to weaken, repeal or modify the law so that it becomes less effective in protecting workers and saving lives. One of these laws, a statute, Labor Law 240(1), relatively unique to New York, is under constant attack by pro-business groups as being too harsh on owners and contractors. Recent New York court decisions have made it more difficult to sue owners and contractors for some crane type accidents. We must continue to protect our workers and laws for everyone's safety," said Mr. Perecman.

Mr. Perecman continually works with legislators to help strengthen New York's construction and labor laws. His experience has lead him to testify before the Standing Committee on Housing of the New York State Assembly and the Standing Committee on Cities and the Standing Committee on Codes, regarding construction and crane accidents that have happened in the past. This construction accident in New York City is the reason that New York construction accident attorneys continually try to have these laws changed.
