Catastrophic injuries—such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or amputations—can result in settlements exceeding $2 million.

Settlement values depend on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, and case-specific circumstances.

Yes. Labor Law 240 applies to all construction, renovation, and repair work regardless of the industry sector. Hotel construction, restaurant renovation, waterpark expansion, winery tasting room development, and all other tourism-related construction are fully covered. Workers on these projects face the same fall hazards as any construction site, and property owners bear identical liability. The hospitality industry context does not affect workers' legal protections.

Lakefront and marina construction is fully covered by Labor Law 240. These projects present additional hazards beyond typical construction—falls over water create drowning risks in addition to impact injuries; dock work involves unstable surfaces; and watercraft movement adds complexity to work zones. Property owners and contractors must provide appropriate fall protection even in these challenging environments. Workers injured in [scaffold falls](/accidents/scaffold-falls) during marina construction, dock maintenance, or lakefront development have full Scaffold Law protection.
