Each year thousands of
construction workers are injured or killed in construction site
accidents. Although
construction companies are required under the law to inspect each site
with safety engineers and implement a wide variety of safety measures,
constructionworkers face a greater
risk of work-related injury or fatality than employees in any
other U.S. industry. New York laws recognize
the inherent risks of construction work and provide protection to
construction workers involved in work site related
accidents.
The first half of this
seminar provides an overview of the statutes and regulations governing
construction site accidents. Insurance, indemnity and ethical issues and
recent developments are also discussed. In the second half of the seminar,
presenters address strategic, evidentiary and tactical concerns and
provide live demonstrations of critical components of the trial of a labor law case.
Panelists offer advice on jury selection, opening and
closing statements, and trial strategies.
All practitioners will
benefit from this seminar’s coverage of all the major aspect of a
labor law trial and practical advice.
