The Experience You Deserve
Smiley Law Manhattan construction accident injury attorneys have been tirelessly fighting for victims and their families for 40 years. We've successfully collected more than $150 million in settlements and judgments for our clients:
- Smiley Law Manhattan construction accident injury attorneys won a $5.05 million dollar settlement before trial for the family of a painter who was killed while helping to rebuild the World Trade Center site after the events of 9/11. We successfully argued that the defendants were negligent under New York State Labor Law because they allowed our client to work alone without the benefit of a coworker—and that working alone in a man lift was an unsafe work practice.
- We obtained a $1.365 Million Settlement during trial on behalf of a 39-year-old demolition foreman who was struck in the head by a falling piece of concrete. During the trial, Smiley Law Manhattan construction accident injury attorneys were in the process of establishing that the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (TBTA) violated specific Labor Law statutes that require overhead protection to protect workers from falling debris. After partner Andrew J. Smiley, Esq. presented his first week of evidence, the TBTA offered this substantial sum to resolve the case.
- Smiley Law obtained an $825,000 settlement for our clients, construction workers who suffered leg and back fractures when a scaffold they were working on while repairing an Amtrak railroad tunnel gave way and caused them to fall. Smiley Law Manhattan construction accident injury attorneys achieved this settlement before the case went to trial.
