in Construction Accidents

New York City Construction Accidents & Deaths Remain on the Rise A recent New York Times article stated that during the past two years, 31 construction workers have died on the job. Yet for some reason, this reality still hasn’t stirred up any measurable public concern or debate. Hopefully this oversight isn’t due to our city placing an unacceptably low value on the lives of the many young immigrant workers who often die in these accidents. Furthermore, the number of non-fatal construction accidents are also increasing. Approximately 231 were reported in 2014 – representing a 24 percent increase over the prior...

When using a sidewalk, it's natural to assume that it's a perfectly safe activity. Walking on sidewalks is not an extreme sport and shouldn't require the same intense focus of spotting fall hazards.
