New York Scaffold Accident Lawyer - Keetick L. Sanchez

From K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. – New York Scaffold Accident Lawyer dives into the legal, emotional, and physical toll of scaffold-related injuries in one of the country’s busiest construction zones. Every day, workers climb high above city streets risking falls, trauma, and even death—all due to faulty scaffolds, negligent oversight, or missing safety measures. This episode explores how New York’s unique scaffold laws, particularly Labor Law § 240—familiarly known as the Scaffold Law—empower injured workers to pursue justice beyond standard workers’ compensation.

Host Keetick L. Sanchez, a dedicated New York City attorney and lifelong advocate for injured workers, breaks down what victims and their families can do after a devastating construction accident. Drawing from her deep experience in both civil and criminal litigation, Keetick shares insights into who can be held accountable after a fall—from contractors and property owners to subcontractors and equipment manufacturers. Listeners will also hear about the most common scaffold-related injuries, like traumatic brain damage, spinal cord trauma, and amputations, and the kinds of compensation that may be available.

This episode highlights how many scaffold accidents result from preventable issues such as lack of proper safety equipment, poor supervision, and defective structures. We also examine the critical role OSHA plays in defining scaffold safety and enforcing guidelines, as well as the elevated risks faced by dismantlers and assemblers. Real-world statistics from New York’s construction industry paint a sobering picture—12 of 24 construction deaths in 2023 stemmed from falls, slips, or trips, making scaffold safety an urgent issue.
