Millions Won for NYC Construction Workers

Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in NYC, with workers risking their lives on a daily basis. We at Oresky & Associates, PLLC, are known for aggressively pursuing — and winning — the compensation they deserve when someone else’s negligence or statutory violation causes the unthinkable. These are just a few of our many successful cases.

$23 MILLION
Verdict: Two Workers Injured in Scaffold Collapse
Two construction workers who were not provided with proper safety equipment fell more than 20 feet from an unsecured ladder. They suffered injuries to the neck, spine, knee, and wrist. Our team meticulously prepared the case, presenting expert and witness testimony during a month-long trial against a large defense firm.

Verdict: Carpenter’s 15-Foot Fall
A union carpenter needed to climb a scaffold inside an elevator shaft. The scaffold shifted, and he fell 15 feet, suffering a fractured leg as well as neck and back trauma. Despite the defense trying to discredit him, our team presented clear evidence and testimony that showed the true impact of the accident on his life.

Our Community

We Know Your Community — Because It’s Ours, Too

We at Oresky & Associates, PLLC, are proud to be part of the same NYC communities whose residents we represent. They’re hardworking people and families with diverse backgrounds, many of whom are blue-collar workers and part of the city’s Spanish-speaking community. We truly understand their lives and values.

As a bilingual law firm, we’re able to connect with accident victims in their preferred language, because we want you to feel seen and supported. This applies if you are an undocumented worker or are worrying about immigration consequences following an accident; you are just as entitled to seek compensation as all legal U.S. citizens are.

Outside of our office, our law firm is actively involved in many community activities. We believe that giving back means helping everyone move forward, which is why you can find us sponsoring sporting events, cultural centers, and parades.

What Happens When You Reach Out to Us

We understand that getting in touch with a lawyer can feel overwhelming, especially after an accident. Many of our clients are contacting an attorney for the first time, and we want them to know they’re not alone.

From the first call onward, our focus is to make clients feel supported, informed, and confident that they’re in the right hands. We listen to them without pressure, answer all their questions, and guide them through every step of the process.

Upon calling us, your first point of contact is our Intake Paralegal. They will gather your contact information and details about your accident and injuries to determine how we can best assist you.

To make this first call as smooth as possible, we encourage you to have the following information ready:

  • Your contact information
  • Date of the accident
  • Location of the accident
  • Types of injuries sustained

You should also let us know if you have any documents or evidence that may help your case, such as police reports, accident scene photos and/or videos, and medical records.

Our attorneys will review the information you provide. If we can help with your case, we will then schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with you (often within the same day). We can meet you wherever you feel most comfortable: at our office, in your home, via video, or even in the hospital.

During the consultation, we will listen to your story, review any available materials and evidence, and clearly explain your legal options. Our lawyers will take the time to answer every question and ensure that you fully understand the process and your rights.

The more common questions we get from clients include the following:

  • How long will my case take?
  • How much is my case worth?
  • What have you done for other clients with similar cases?
  • What can I expect during my case?
  • Will I have to go to trial?
  • What are the next steps after my consultation?
  • How will your team communicate with me throughout the process?
  • Who will be my main point of contact if I have questions or updates?
  • What can I do to help strengthen my case?

Once you understand your legal options and want to hire us as your attorneys, you will sign a retainer agreement for our services. We will then begin working on your case immediately, which involves the following:

  • Counseling you on the best legal strategy for your situation
  • Gathering evidence and investigating the accident to support your injury claim
  • Talking to accident witnesses and obtaining their statements
  • Communicating with healthcare providers to acquire your medical records
  • Working with medical, economic, and accident reconstruction experts to strengthen your case
  • Using concrete data to determine the value of your injury case
  • Filing all necessary legal paperwork within the deadlines
  • Communicating and negotiating with the insurer(s) on your behalf
  • Advocating for a settlement that takes all your losses into account
  • Representing you at trial if the insurer(s) won’t agree to settle for what your case is worth
  • Protecting your legal rights throughout the process
  • Never charging you anything unless we successfully resolve your injury case

You Pay Nothing Unless We Win Your Accident Injury Case

At Oresky & Associates, PLLC, we know that the last thing you should worry about is being able to pay for a lawyer. That is why our law firm handles your injury case on a contingency-fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront or out-of-pocket for our legal services. If our lawyers successfully resolve your case, we then receive our attorney’s fee.

You have nothing to lose, so contact us today for your free, fully confidential case evaluation.
