if you’re someone who’s working on a

construction accident someone who’s

doing construction demolition or

excavation work and you are hurt while

you are

on the job

the first thing that you need to do

besides seek medical attention

is to inform your employer inform your

supervisor that you are hurt

we see far too often individuals who

are hurt

while they’re on the job and they try to

walk it off or they try to play it down

and they try to pretend that perhaps

they could work through it and it’ll go

away

most of the time this does not happen

and the longer you wait the more

problems there are later on there is

nothing wrong with admitting that you

are hurt while doing some of the most

dangerous work there is to do which is

why new york state has very specific and

very stringent laws protecting

construction workers who are doing the

construction demolition and excavation

work that builds the city
