Elena Vargasova
Senior Partner
New York, NY
Elena Vargasova has spent 22 years representing New York construction workers in Labor Law §240 and §241(6) litigation, recovering more than $120 million for scaffold fall, crane accident, and falling object victims. Her civil engineering background gives her an unmatched ability to analyze scaffold load calculations, crane assembly specifications, and structural deficiencies — the technical foundation of NY construction accident litigation. Elena has represented members of Sandhogs Local 147, LIUNA Local 79, Ironworkers Local 40, and United Brotherhood of Carpenters Local 608, and is known in the union community as one of the premier construction accident attorneys in the New York metropolitan area. She has tried 14 Labor Law §240 cases to verdict and has never lost a trial on liability.
