Undocumented workers · Trabajadores indocumentados
Your immigration status does not matter. You have the same right to full compensation.
New York law protects every construction worker on a job site — union, non-union, documented, or undocumented. Many of the high-value scaffold and Labor Law §240 cases Evan handles are for undocumented laborers. Every consultation is strictly confidential. We will never ask about, share, or report your status to your employer, an insurance company, or immigration authorities. Consultations available in Spanish.

What we handle
New York's Labor Law gives construction workers some of the strongest protections in the country. Evan handles §240 (scaffold) and §241 (site-safety) claims for injured laborers and their families. That covers the full range of job-site injuries: falls from heights, scaffold and ladder collapses, hoisting and rigging failures, falling objects and struck-by injuries, tool, machinery and equipment injuries, trench, demolition and excavation accidents, electrocutions and crane accidents, injuries caused by co-employees, and injuries caused by a lack of proper safety equipment and procedures. Union and non-union workers alike are protected, and owners and general contractors carry non-delegable responsibility for site safety.
