What are the Contingent Fees in a New York Medical Malpractice Case?

New York's Judiciary Law Section 474-A provides that in a medical malpractice case the attorney's fee is 30% of the first $250,000 of the "net sum" recovered. For the next $250,000 recovered, the fee is 25%. For the next $500,000 recovered the fee is 20%. For the next $250,000 recovered the fee is 15%. After that for any amount recovered over $1,250,000 the fee is 10%. The "net sum" recovered is the gross amount of the judgment or settlement, minus the amount of money the attorney has laid out for the expenses of the case. The expenses usually include fees for expert witnesses, court filings, transcripts, subpoenas, medical records and other similar expenses. As an example, if there is a gross settlement of $1million and expenses of $50,000, the fee would be calculated as follows: $1 million minus $50,000 equals $950,000 (the net sum recovered). 30% of the first 250,000 = 75,000 25% of the next 250,000 = 62,500 20% of remaining $450,000 = 90,000 Total fee = 227,500 Net to client = $772,500

Is an Expert Required in Order to File a Complain in a New York Medical Malpractice Case?

Yes. Pursuant to New York Civil Practice Law and Rules section 3012-A, a certificate of merit must accompany the complaint which states that the attorney for the plaintiff has consulted with an expert physician and that on the basis of that expert review, there is a reasonable ground for the commencement of a medical malpractice case. If there is insufficient time to obtain this medical review before the statute of limitations expires, then the attorney can state that in the certificate and later file a supplemental certificate when the expert review has been obtained.

What is a Notice of Medical Malpractice in New York?

Pursuant to section 3406 of the NY Civil Practice Law and Rules, the notice of medical malpractice action is a mandatory form that must be filled by the plaintiff with the clerk of the Court within 60 days of the service of answers by all defendants

What is the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice case in New York?

Answer: Pursuant to section 214-a of the NY Civil Practice Law and Rules, the basic medical malpractice statute of limitations is 2 and ½ years from the date of the malpractice or the last date of continuous treatment by the physician or hospital sought to be held responsible for the same injury or condition that gave rise to the malpractice. This statute of limitation applies to private physicians, hospitals, nurses and other health care providers.

What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice by New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation? (NYCHHC)

Answer: There are special rules applicable to malpractice by public hospitals run by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, such as Bellevue, Jacoby, Elmhurst, Metropolitan, Lincoln and others. Pursuant to Section 7401 of the NY Unconsolidated Laws, a medical malpractice lawsuit against the NYCHHC must be commenced within one year and ninety days. There is also the requirement that a notice of claim be filed with NYCHHC within ninety days in conformity with NY General Municipal Law 50-e.

What is the statute of limitations for a malpractice in failing to diagnose cancer?

Answer: Section 214-a of the NY Civil Practice Law and Rules provides that the statute of limitations for cancer misdiagnosis is 2 and ½ years from the date that the cancer was diagnosed, or that the patient should have known of the diagnosis of cancer. This is a special provision applicable only to cancer that measures the 2 and ½ years from the date of discovery of the cancer, rather than the date of misdiagnosis. This provision was added by the legislature to remedy the situation where a misdiagnosis is made and the patient is unaware of the cancer for a prolonged period of time until it is discovered.

What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice that causes the wrongful death of the patient?

Answer: When medical malpractice causes the death of the patient, there is a claim for the patient's injuries, pain and suffering up to the time of death, that is governed by Section 214-a of the NY Civil Practice Law and Rules, which provides for a 2 and ½ year statute of limitations measured from the date of the malpractice, the last date of continuous treatment, or in the case of cancer misdiagnosis, from the date of discovery of the cancer. There is also a separate claim for the wrongful death of the patient. Pursuant to Section 5-4.1 of the NY Estates, Powers and Trusts Law, the claim for wrongful death must be brought within 2 years from the date of death by the legal representative of the patient's estate, e.g, an executor or administrator.

Can I sue my employer if I am injured in a construction accident in New York?

In most cases, workers' compensation is your exclusive remedy against your direct employer. However, you may be able to file a third-party lawsuit against the property owner, general contractor, subcontractor, or equipment manufacturer — parties who are not your employer. These third-party claims can result in far greater compensation than workers' comp alone.

How long do I have to file a construction accident lawsuit in New York?

The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in New York is three years from the date of the accident. However, if a government entity owns the construction site, you may have as little as 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. Because evidence disappears quickly, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.

Who should I notify after a construction accident in New York?

Notify your employer immediately and seek medical attention. Report the accident to OSHA if safety violations were involved. Document the scene with photographs if you are able. Then contact an experienced New York City construction accident lawyer before speaking to any insurance company or signing any documents.

Know Your Protections

New York Construction Workers Have Powerful Legal Rights Other States Don't Offer

New York State is one of the most worker-protective states in the country when it comes to construction accident law. Two statutes in particular give injured construction workers and their families extraordinary legal leverage:

New York Labor Law § 240 — The "Scaffold Law"

New York Labor Law Section 240, commonly known as the "Scaffold Law," is one of the strongest worker-protection statutes in the nation. It places absolute (strict) liability on property owners and general contractors for gravity-related injuries on construction sites. This means that if you fall from a scaffold, ladder, roof, or elevated platform — or if an object falls and strikes you from above — the property owner and general contractor may be liable regardless of whether they were directly negligent.

Under §240, covered activities include construction, demolition, repair, alteration, painting, cleaning, and pointing of a building or structure. This law applies to both workers and pedestrians injured by falling materials or equipment.

Key point: Insurance companies and defense lawyers fight aggressively to limit §240 claims. You need an attorney who knows how to preserve and assert your rights under this statute immediately after the accident.

New York Labor Law § 241 — Safety in Construction Operations

New York Labor Law Section 241 requires construction site owners and general contractors to maintain safe working conditions and comply with specific regulations set by the New York State Industrial Code. When those regulations are violated — unsafe trenches, improper lighting, lack of protective barriers, inadequate safety equipment — and a worker is injured as a result, the owner and contractor can be held liable.

Unlike §240, liability under §241 is not absolute, but comparative negligence rules mean that even if you were partly at fault, you may still recover substantial compensation.

New York Labor Law § 200 — General Duty of Care

Section 200 codifies the common-law duty of property owners and general contractors to provide workers with a reasonably safe place to work. Claims under §200 require showing that the owner had control over the work or knew of the dangerous condition.

At the Jonathan C. Reiter Law Firm, we evaluate every construction accident case under all applicable statutes to maximize your recovery. Call (212) 736-0979 to discuss which laws apply to your situation.

Types of NYC Construction Accidents We Handle

New York City's construction industry is one of the busiest — and most dangerous — in the world. Our New York City construction accident attorneys handle the full spectrum of construction site injuries, including:

Scaffold Accidents & Collapses

Scaffolding collapses are among the most deadly events on New York construction sites. Whether a scaffold is improperly assembled, overloaded, missing guardrails, or made of defective materials, the results can be catastrophic. Under Labor Law §240, the property owner and general contractor are strictly liable for scaffold-related falls and injuries.

Falling Objects

Workers on lower floors and pedestrians on sidewalks are frequently struck by tools, building materials, debris, and equipment that falls from above. The law requires that all such materials be properly hoisted, secured, or barricaded — and when they are not, the responsible parties are liable under §240.

Falls from Heights

Falls from roofs, open floors, elevated platforms, and stairwells are a leading cause of construction worker fatalities in New York. Property owners must provide adequate fall protection, safety harnesses, guardrails, and safety nets. Failure to do so triggers strict liability under Labor Law §240.

Ladder Accidents

Defective, improper, or unsecured ladders cause thousands of injuries annually on New York construction sites. If a ladder slips, breaks, or shifts due to the failure to provide adequate safety equipment, the responsible parties may be held strictly liable.

Crane & Heavy Equipment Accidents

New York City has seen a number of high-profile crane collapses and equipment failures in recent years. These complex cases involve multiple layers of liability — crane operators, rental companies, property owners, and manufacturers may all share responsibility.

Electrocution & Electrical Accidents

Construction workers routinely work near live electrical wires and power lines. Failure to properly de-energize wires, provide adequate insulation, or warn workers of electrical hazards can constitute violations of both OSHA regulations and Labor Law §241.

Trench Collapses & Excavation Accidents

Trench collapses can bury workers alive within seconds. OSHA mandates strict shoring, sloping, and protective systems for all excavations. When these regulations are ignored, the consequences — and the legal liability — are severe.

Construction Site Fires & Explosions

Gas leaks, welding accidents, improper storage of flammable materials, and electrical failures can cause devastating fires and explosions on construction sites. These incidents frequently give rise to multiple claims against contractors, subcontractors, and product manufacturers.

Demolition Accidents

Demolition work carries unique hazards — structural instability, hazardous materials like asbestos, and the risk of partial or total building collapse. New York's Labor Laws fully cover demolition workers and, in many cases, nearby pedestrians and bystanders as well.

Pedestrian & Bystander Injuries

You don't have to be a construction worker to have a claim. Pedestrians and bystanders injured by falling debris, collapsing scaffolding, or unsafe sidewalk conditions adjacent to construction sites have full legal rights to pursue compensation from property owners and contractors.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Your NYC Construction Accident?

One of the most important — and misunderstood — aspects of New York construction accident law is that you may have claims against parties beyond your direct employer. Potentially liable parties include:

Property owners

Under Labor Law §240 and §241, property owners bear strict or near-strict liability for safety violations on their sites, even if they hired a general contractor to manage the work.

General contractors

General contractors who control the work site are liable under the same statutes.

Subcontractors

A subcontractor whose negligence caused your accident may be liable under common law negligence claims.

Equipment manufacturers

If a defective scaffold, ladder, harness, crane, or piece of machinery contributed to your injury, the manufacturer may be liable under product liability law.

Architects and engineers

In some cases, defective design or engineering failures create liability for design professionals.

Building owners and developers

Even passive or "out of possession" owners can be held liable under Labor Law §240.

Our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation of every case to identify all potentially liable parties and ensure you pursue the maximum possible recovery. Call (212) 736-0979 now to start that investigation before critical evidence is lost.

Workers' Compensation vs. Third-Party Lawsuit — What's the Difference?

Many injured construction workers are told they can only collect workers' compensation. This is often incorrect, and settling for workers' comp alone can leave enormous amounts of money on the table.

Workers' compensation provides limited benefits — a portion of your lost wages and coverage for medical expenses — but it does NOT compensate you for pain and suffering, emotional distress, or full lost earning capacity. And you generally cannot sue your direct employer for additional damages in a workers' comp case.

However, a third-party personal injury lawsuit against the property owner, general contractor, or another responsible party can recover full damages including pain and suffering, full lost earnings, future medical costs, and loss of enjoyment of life. These damages are often many times larger than what workers' compensation provides.

The best outcomes often involve pursuing workers' compensation benefits simultaneously with a third-party lawsuit. Our New York City construction accident attorneys are experienced at coordinating both tracks to maximize your total recovery.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a NYC Construction Accident?

If you have been seriously injured in a New York City construction accident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:

Past and future medical expenses

hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, prescription medications, medical devices, and any anticipated future treatment

Lost wages

all income lost while you were unable to work during your recovery

Reduced earning capacity

if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or limit your ability to earn income in the future

Pain and suffering

physical pain, discomfort, and the ongoing effects of your injuries

Emotional distress

anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other psychological impacts caused by the accident

Loss of enjoyment of life

inability to participate in hobbies, recreational activities, and aspects of daily life you previously enjoyed

Loss of consortium

the impact of your injuries on your relationship with your spouse or partner

Wrongful death damages

if a family member was killed in a construction accident, surviving spouses, children, and dependents may recover for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and loss of parental guidance

New York Construction Accident Statute of Limitations — Don't Wait

Time is a critical factor in every New York construction accident case. Missing the deadline to file your claim can permanently bar you from recovering any compensation, no matter how strong your case is.

Personal injury claims — generally 3 years from the date of the accident under New York law
Wrongful death claims — 2 years from the date of death
Claims against New York City or a government agency — you may have as little as 90 days to file a Notice of Claim, with a lawsuit deadline of 1 year and 90 days

Beyond the statute of limitations, evidence deteriorates quickly. Surveillance footage is overwritten. Witnesses' memories fade. OSHA records may be sealed. Physical evidence at the scene changes. The sooner you retain an attorney, the better your chances of building a winning case. Call our office now at (212) 736-0979 — we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Frequently Asked Questions About NYC Construction Accidents

What are the most common causes of construction accidents in New York City?

Construction and demolition accidents happen for many reasons. The most common causes we see include: unsafe or improperly assembled scaffolding; scaffolding collapses; falls from ladders, rooftops, or elevated platforms; falling objects striking workers on lower floors or pedestrians below; defective construction equipment or machinery; electrocution from live wires or improper electrical setups; trench and excavation collapses; crane failures and collapses; building wall or structure collapses during demolition; and failure by contractors or property owners to adhere to OSHA safety guidelines and the New York Industrial Code.

What is New York Labor Law Section 240 (the Scaffold Law)?

New York Labor Law §240 — commonly called the "Scaffold Law" — is one of the most powerful worker-protection statutes in the United States. It imposes strict (absolute) liability on property owners and general contractors for gravity-related injuries on construction sites. This means that if you fall from a scaffold, ladder, roof, or other elevated surface — or if you are struck by an object that falls from above — the owner and contractor are liable regardless of whether they were directly negligent. You do not need to prove fault; you need to prove the accident occurred and that it involved a gravity-related hazard that the defendants failed to protect against. This is an extraordinarily powerful legal tool for injured workers.

Can I sue my employer if I'm injured in a construction accident in New York?

In most cases, workers' compensation is your exclusive remedy against your direct employer — meaning you generally cannot sue your employer directly for additional damages beyond workers' comp benefits. However, New York construction accident law is significantly more nuanced than this. If the property owner, general contractor, a subcontractor, or an equipment manufacturer caused or contributed to your accident, you may file a third-party personal injury lawsuit against those parties. These lawsuits can recover full pain and suffering damages, which workers' comp does not cover, and often result in far greater total compensation. Every construction accident is unique — call us to discuss exactly what claims apply to your situation.

Who investigates construction accidents in New York City?

Construction accident investigations in New York typically involve multiple agencies. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigates workplace safety violations and issues citations to employers and contractors. The New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) investigates accidents involving the construction, alteration, or demolition of buildings. In cases involving public property or roads, other city or state agencies may also be involved. Critically, these government investigations are designed to determine regulatory violations — not to protect your legal rights or maximize your compensation. You need an independent attorney on your side investigating in your interest, gathering evidence, and working with your own experts. Contact us immediately after your accident so we can preserve evidence and launch a parallel investigation on your behalf.

What compensation can I recover after a NYC construction accident?

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to recover: all past and future medical expenses; lost wages for the period you were unable to work; reduced earning capacity if your injuries permanently limit your ability to work; compensation for physical pain and suffering; emotional distress damages; loss of enjoyment of life; and loss of consortium for your spouse or family. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover funeral costs and loss of financial support.
