The Syracuse region currently experiences approximately 85-110 serious construction injuries annually, with 1-2 fatalities. These numbers will likely increase significantly as the Micron project and I-81 reconstruction bring unprecedented construction activity to the region.

Syracuse construction accident cases are filed in Onondaga County Supreme Court, located at 401 Montgomery Street in downtown Syracuse. Onondaga County courts regularly handle Labor Law 240 cases and apply established precedent protecting injured workers.

Syracuse construction accident settlements typically range from $200,000 to $900,000 for serious injuries. Catastrophic injuries can result in settlements exceeding $3 million. While amounts may be lower than New York City, the law's protections apply equally.

Regardless of the project size or the identity of the owner, construction workers are entitled to adequate fall protection, and owners and contractors are liable when protection is inadequate.

Highway construction projects are covered by Labor Law 240 like any other construction site. However, state highway projects may involve additional procedural requirements, including shorter deadlines for filing claims. Contact an attorney promptly to ensure you meet all deadlines.
