Industrial Accident Attorney in Manhattan

50 Years Pursuing Personal Injury Claims for Injured Workers in Manhattan

When an industrial accident upends your life, the path forward isn’t always clear. Workers’ compensation may cover some losses, but it rarely accounts for the full picture: long-term disability, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the negligence of parties beyond your employer. At Loscalzo & Loscalzo, P.C., we pursue personal injury negligence claims on behalf of injured workers in Manhattan, holding employers, contractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners accountable when their failures cause harm.

Our firm has represented injured individuals and families in Manhattan for more than 50 years. We practice exclusively in personal injury law, and we assign one attorney to each case from the first consultation through resolution. That means one consistent point of contact, clear communication at every stage, and a lawyer who knows your file. Free consultations are available with no upfront legal fees.

Common Manhattan Industrial Accidents & Their Causes

Manhattan’s construction, manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing sectors move fast. That pace creates conditions where safety compliance gaps can cause catastrophic harm. The industrial accidents we see most often trace back to a handful of recurring failures:

• Equipment Failure: Malfunctioning or poorly maintained machinery can cause traumatic, life-altering injuries in an instant.
• Safety Protocol Lapses: Failure to follow established safety standards puts workers at serious risk, whether the failure belongs to an employer, a contractor, or a site owner.
• Inadequate Training: Workers placed on unfamiliar equipment without proper instruction face heightened risk of injury.
• Supervisory Negligence: Inattention by those responsible for worksite safety can have severe consequences for the workers in their charge.

The injuries that result from these failures are often serious and permanent. Victims may suffer amputations, burns, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, crush injuries, toxic exposures, and electrocution. These catastrophic injuries frequently lead to long-term or permanent disability, lost earning capacity, and ongoing medical needs that workers’ compensation alone won’t fully address.

New York Labor Law & Third-Party Liability in Industrial Accident Cases

New York Labor Law places strict safety obligations on employers, property owners, and general contractors at industrial worksites. Two provisions matter most for injured workers pursuing personal injury claims. Labor Law 200 addresses statutory negligence for unsafe worksite conditions, including dangerous premises and unsafe methods of work. Labor Law 241(6) requires employers to provide reasonable worksite protections based on the New York State Industrial Code. When those obligations go unmet, injured workers may have grounds for a negligence claim that goes well beyond a workers’ comp filing.

Third-party liability is an avenue many injured workers don’t know exists. If an equipment manufacturer, subcontractor, property owner, or another party caused or contributed to the accident, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim separate from any workers’ compensation claim you file. Recoverable damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and, in cases involving especially reckless conduct, punitive damages. Building that case requires evidence: maintenance logs, safety inspection records, training documentation, and witness statements all play a role.

With over 100 years of combined legal experience and close familiarity with New York law and Manhattan industrial worksite practices, we investigate each case carefully, involve clients in key decisions, and pursue damages available under the law.
