Labor Law

FP has developed a reputation for its zealous and proactive approach in defending claims premised on the New York Labor Law. While the legislatures have imposed draconian measures for Labor Law violations, our litigation plans focus on seeking outright dismissals of claims or securing risk transfers to other entities. FP represents owners, developers, general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, engineers, and architects in construction site accidents, as well as insurance carriers in coverage claims, ranging from crane, scaffolding and machinery accidents, falls from elevated heights, electrocution, explosions, collapsed trenches and fires. We are often called in for pre-suit consultation to mitigate losses.
