Fell from a Ladder or Scaffold?

New York’s Scaffold Law puts the liability on owners & GCs - we make them pay.

Top Personal Injury Attorneys In Westchester 

The fallout after a job-site fall

Lost paychecks & medical bills piling up

Contractors blaming you

Insurance adjusters rushing lowball offers

LaMagna McKenna answers with…

• Strict-liability leverage. NY Labor Law 240 makes owners automatically responsible for gravity-related injuries—no need to prove negligence.

• Aggressive litigation team. We prepare every case for trial to force top-dollar settlements —yet most clients see a payout without ever stepping into court.

• Zero-risk fee. You pay nothing unless we put money in your pocket.
