You know, as a New York construction accident lawyer, one of the things I even tell a jury sometimes is, you know, H.G. Wells and that time machine, they never invented it. So you cant go back. I cant go back and make what happened to my client go away. I cant go back and ensure there is proper construction or office worker safety. I just cant. But as a New York construction accident lawyer what I can do is try and give them a life that's comfortable. And the only way we can do that is by monetary compensation, or lawsuit settlements. You get money, okay. Now, money sounds, it doesn't sound right. I mean, what does money do? Well, when a person cant get around and they now have somebody who can help them get around, drive them places, money does it. If they need a special vehicle to get where they have to go, you need money. If you need a house that's built in a special way, so that it has wheelchair ramps, its accessible, the bathrooms are accessible to wheelchairs, that stuff costs a great deal of money. There are so many things that money from lawsuit settlements will make more comfortable for people. I'll give you the major one. They cant go back to work. If you cant go back to work, you cant support your wife. You cant support your kids. If you're a typical construction worker in the city, which is a lot of the people I and other New York construction accident lawyers represent, they're males, they get injured due to lack of construction or office worker safety, they can't support their wives. And I hear the stories from them. I cant pay my mortgage. I'm going to have to sell my house. The kids are going to have to change school districts. Thats a big problem.
