Can I sue my employer if I am injured in a construction accident?

New York State law prohibits victims of workplace accidents from suing their employers. The Worker's Compensation Law provides an injured employee the sole remedy against his employer. Although you can not sue your employer, the law does allow lawsuits against contractors, architects, manufacturers, and property owners.
