Worker Rescued After Injury at Hudson Yards Construction Site
Worker Rescued After Injury at Hudson Yards Construction Site
A construction worker was critically injured on the morning of June 16th, 2025, after falling from a 30-60 foot-deep excavation at a Hudson Yards jobsite in Manhattan. According to the FDNY, the worker was struck by a piece of construction machinery that “blew off the wall,” clipping his head.
FDNY’s specialized Rescue Company 1 responded using rope systems to lower rescuers and hoist the injured worker out. The team had recently conducted drills at the same site, which aided their swift and efficient rescue efforts. The worker was transported to the hospital in critical condition, while OSHA and city building officials are investigating the machinery malfunction and site conditions.
This incident highlights the dangerous conditions construction workers face in high-density urban development zones, particularly during deep excavation and foundation work.
Why Contacting a Personal Injury Lawyer After a Construction Accident Is Important
If you’re injured on a construction site, contacting a personal injury lawyer can be a crucial step in protecting your rights and securing fair compensation. Construction accidents often involve complex liability issues, and a lawyer can help you:
- Navigate Workers’ Compensation: Ensure you receive full benefits for medical care and lost wages.
- Investigate Third-Party Liability: Determine if a third party (e.g., equipment manufacturer, subcontractor) may be responsible in addition to your employer.
- Gather Evidence: Preserve crucial documentation, witness statements, and safety records to support your case.
- Negotiate Settlements: Work toward a fair financial settlement without going to court.
- Represent You Legally: If necessary, take your case to trial and advocate on your behalf.
