No one cares more about protecting the rights of injured construction workers more than our top-rated team of New York City personal injury attorneys at Lurie, Ilchert, MacDonnell & Ryan LLP. We understand that the dangers a construction worker can face when their supervisor or coworkers act negligently are as varied as they are serious. One of the job site occupations that encounter hazards regularly are welders, and we do all that we can to ensure they are taken care of after suffering an on-the-job injury related to their expected duties.

Injuries that welders frequently cite in accident reports include:

• Exposure to UV and IR radiation
• Severe burns and disfigurements
• Eye injuries and blindness
• Breathing complications from dangerous fumes

No matter the painful consequences you experienced while welding on a construction site, our NYC construction accident lawyers want to be the ones to build your claim and represent you. Call 646.461.4009 today to connect with our team and learn your legal options.

Hazards are Worsened When Safety is Ignored

Foremen of construction sites, supervisors, and controlling parent companies all have the duty and responsibility to protect workers and welcome visitors. When all safety protocols and guidelines are followed, welding accidents may be rare. If safety does not come first and proper procedures are not encouraged and enforced by management and higher-ups, welding accidents can become common. In some incidents, equipment and machines can fail due to a lack of maintenance, sparking up violently and causing severe slag burns.

Tools involved in welding accidents on construction sites may include:

• Arc welders
• Laser cutters
• Torch welders
• Gas masks (chemical exposure incidents)
