Construction sites in New York are more dangerous than ever. In 2023, site accidents increased by 40%. When these accidents happen, injured workers face a battle on two fronts: recovery and financial survival.

The reality is stark: medical bills can exceed $100,000 in the first month alone. Insurance companies often offer quick, low settlements, hoping you’ll accept out of desperation—meanwhile, your family struggles without your income.

That’s why TonaLaw created the Construction Comeback System™. We advance all costs, connect you with top medical specialists, and fight for maximum compensation. Our approach has helped hundreds of New York construction workers rebuild their lives after:

  • Falls from scaffolding
  • Crane accidents
  • Electric shocks
  • Equipment malfunctions
  • Trench collapses
  • Chemical exposures
  • Falling Debris
  • Poor safety precautions
  • Construction site negligence

TonaLaw’s construction accident lawyers and staff are here and pledge to get you the compensation you need for your physical suffering and financial loss resulting from a construction accident.”

  • Rental companies
  • Maintenance providers
  • Parts suppliers

4. THIRD PARTIES

  • Design professionals
  • Material suppliers

5. Real Example: In a recent NY case, an injured worker received:

  • Workers’ comp from employer: $150,000
  • Property owner settlement: $2.1M
  • Equipment company settlement: $750,000 Total Recovery: $3M

Let us identify ALL responsible parties in your case.
