Where Other Lawyers Stop, We Start
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in United States — and the numbers prove it. One in five workplace deaths involves a construction worker. Six out of every hundred workers will be injured on the job. With over seven million people in the trades, many employed by small contractors where safety oversight is limited, accidents are far too common and far too preventable.
The law is clear. Every worker has the right to a safe jobsite. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created OSHA to enforce that right and to ensure that negligent employers face real consequences.
At The Law Offices of Joseph M. Lichtenstein, we represent injured construction workers in Ossining, NY who deserve justice. Were you hurt on a job site due to unsafe conditions or employer negligence? Don't wait — speak with our experienced personal injury attorneys today and find out what your case may be worth.
Practice Areas
Employee Rights Under OSHA Regulations
Every worker has rights on the job site — and OSHA is the law that protects them. Chief among those rights is the right to be informed. Employers are legally required to make workers aware of the safety rules and regulations specific to their industry and workplace. Why does this matter? Because a worker who understands the standards is a worker who can spot a violation, report a hazard, and potentially save their own life.
Identifying Typical Safety Violations in the Workplace
Your rights on the job site do not end when the whistle blows. Under OSHA, workers are entitled to access their medical and workplace exposure records whenever they request them. Spot a safety violation on your Ossining, NY construction site? You have every right to file a complaint and request that an OSHA area director conduct a formal inspection. Worried your employer will find out? Your identity is protected — OSHA allows complaints to be filed confidentially. And if your employer retaliates against you despite those protections, they are in violation of federal law. That is where The Law Offices of Joseph M. Lichtenstein steps in. We fight back.

Classification of Accidents in the Construction Sector
Falls are the number one killer on construction sites in Ossining, NY and across the country. Whether from rooftops, scaffolding, or unfinished structures, most of these accidents were preventable — the direct result of ignored safety protocols and negligent employers.
Heavy machinery is the next major threat. Forklifts and large construction vehicles become dangerous in the hands of untrained operators or under negligent employers who skip maintenance and safety training. Liability in these cases can fall on the operator, the employer, or both.
Electrocution completes the picture — rarely accidental, almost always rooted in known hazards that were never corrected. If any of these accidents has affected you in Ossining, NY, The Law Offices of Joseph M. Lichtenstein has the experience and determination to hold the responsible parties fully accountable.
