🧠 Hit your head in a New York accident? A traumatic brain injury lawyer in New York can prove what scans miss.
⚠️ You have three years under CPLR 214(5), and the evidence fades long before that.

In this video, you'll learn:

✅ What legally counts as a TBI, from concussion to severe brain injury
✅ How the serious-injury threshold under Insurance Law § 5102(d) decides car crash cases
✅ Why insurers fight TBI lawsuits harder than almost any other injury case
✅ What damages New York allows, including pain-and-suffering awards that have reached the millions
✅ Why the three-year deadline runs out faster than survivors expect

A traumatic brain injury can arrive in a single moment, in a stairwell fall, a rear-end crash or a fall from height on a construction site. The hardest part is that the damage is often invisible. Cognitive changes, slowed processing and emotional shifts rarely appear on a standard X-ray, so carriers dispute the diagnosis. The Law Firm of Andrew M. Stengel, P.C. handles brain injury lawsuits throughout New York, working with neurologists, neuropsychologists, vocational experts and life-care planners to make the injury visible to a jury. We map every cause to every available theory, from Labor Law Sections 240 and 241 to premises liability and product liability.

If you or a family member suffered a head injury in New York, an early call protects the lawsuit.

⚠️ Hit by a falling object on a New York construction site? Labor Law Section 240 may impose absolute liability may impose absolute liability.

🚨 Evidence starts disappearing the same day.

In this video, you'll learn:

✅ Why Section 240 protects workers struck by falling objects, not just workers who fall
✅ The Narducci standard, and when a missing securing device makes owners and contractors liable
✅ How Section 241(6) and Industrial Code Rule 23-1.7(a) add a companion lawsuit
✅ Why owners and general contractors stay liable even when they delegated all site safety
✅ What evidence to preserve immediately, from the object itself to OSHA citations and video

The Law Firm of Andrew M. Stengel, P.C. represents injured construction workers throughout New York in falling object and scaffold law cases. We bring Labor Law Section 240 claims against property owners, developers and general contractors, and we pair them with Section 241(6) Industrial Code claims where the facts support both. Workers' compensation rarely covers the full cost of a traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury, and a Section 240 lawsuit is how that gap gets closed. We move fast to preserve the object, the scene and the witnesses.
If a falling object injured you or someone you work with, the site will not look the same next week.
