Working in the construction industry is one of the most dangerous occupations. But, many job site accidents could be avoided if all contractors and owners and their agents, subcontractors or other parties, trades and equipment manufacturers acted with care.
Our attorneys help you file your workers' compensation claim and pursue actions against third parties such as owners, contractors, subcontractors or other trades to recover the money and benefits you are entitled to.While the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has reported a decline in injury rates among most professions within the last two decades, one in ten construction workers are still injured every year.

Unexpectedly, catastrophically, and, in the case of New York City, far too often. Which is why knowing your rights and having a plan in place in the event of a building collapse-related injury or death is so critical.
In 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that, while construction workers made up less than 4.5% of the American workforce, they accounted for more than 19% of the nation's worker fatalities - that's a 429% discrepancy!And in NYC, where more than one million buildings and eight million people coexist, no industry is more lethal.

Falls are dangerous. They can injure, kill, and cause physical pain and emotional suffering. And in New York City, they remain the leading cause of fatal injuries among construction workers, where, from 2007-2016, construction-related falls accounted for 60% of all worksite deaths. 60%. In a city that employs more than 400,000 construction workers annually.
Crawler cranes, floating cranes, fixed cranes, jib cranes, hammerhead cranes, stacker cranes - a snapshot of a New York City construction site, of which there are 45,000+ currently active. And while construction workers comprise only 5% of the NYC workforce, they unfortunately account for 27% of the city's job-related deaths and many more injuries, many of which are the result of crane-related accidents.

Our family is so grateful and blessed to have Michael Reiner represent our loved one, Tony, on a personal injury case. Our Tony (a father of a teenager, a brother to two siblings, a son and a friend to many) was a victim of a hit-and-run drunk driver which resulted in him being Stonybrook ICU with a TBI for 411 days before he died. Mike supported us at the hospital, often visiting. While we were also dealing with the criminal case, Mike being a former assistant DA, kept us briefed and assisted in explaining the judicial system which we were unfamiliar with. He is unbelievably helpful and reliable

My review is going to be lengthy, but worth is. Please bare with me. I met Steve Schwartzapfel back in 1985, when I was just 15 years old. He helped me & my family 34 years ago. Then I grew up & had a family. In 1998 when my daughter was 5 years old she was severely injured in school by another class mate. I called Schwartzapfel Lawyers once again & Steve was immediately at my daughters side & took care of us completely. Fast forward to 2015. My husband is a 30 year union Bridge Painter & he was badly injured while on the job. The union gave him an attorney immediately. We spent

Schwartapfel Law firm is the most dedicated law firm I’ve seen, they go hard for you doing all they can to make sure you get what you deserve, they fight for you even if you don’t want to fight for yourself. They really helped me a lot, if anyone I know needs a lawyer I will most definitely refer Schwartapfel to them. Ask for Robert Selg!

As a former client that was very satisfied in the past, again I chose to use Schwartzapfel Lawyers. I also recommend the firm to two other family members who were very satisfied with the attention and outcome of their cases.
The bottom line is that this firm is constantly calling and communicating with you: you never have to go after them. All calls are returned promptly and the paralegals are great. Hopefully I do not forget anyone, but, Julie, Sandra and Megan were patient and very attentive. Rob was our initial contact and he was able to provide us with information and answered all our questions

The worst ever. W. A. was my lawyer. He has no communication skills, no technical skills, and the whole experience was beyond bad. If I could give NO STARS that I would give this firm. They take you at your most vulnerable, give you a baby lawyer and then do not deliver the goods..
W.A. was beyond bad. I have had lawyers with whom I felt sympatico. This guy was a baby. So declasse. So condescending. So inexperienced.
If there was any way to deter people from using this lawyer and this firm, I would take every step necessary to be sure that they never let this guy practice again.
I can only say
