Construction Accident Lawyers Fighting for Injured Workers and Families
Construction work is among the most hazardous occupations in the nation, with close to 1 out of 5 workplace fatalities taking place on a construction site. From collapsing scaffolding and falling objects to equipment malfunctions and electrocution, the dangers are genuine—and all too frequently, avoidable. If you or someone you love has been hurt at a construction site, our seasoned construction accident attorneys can assist you in making sense of your rights and obtaining the compensation you need.
We are representatives of workers, subcontractors, bystanders, and families impacted by construction injuries. These incidents can cause permanent physical, emotional, and financial damage. You don’t have to go through this alone.
We provide a broad spectrum of construction injury claims, such as:
- Falling from ladders, scaffolds, or roofs
- Electrical shock and burns
- Malfunctioning of machinery and equipment
- Struck by falling objects
- Crane, forklift, or trench accidents
- Non-compliance with OSHA rules
- Third-party fault (non-employer negligence)
Although workers’ compensation might pay for some of these costs, it’s usually insufficient, particularly in serious cases. You might be able to recover more money with a third-party claim if a contractor, equipment maker, or other party was responsible.
We’ll thoroughly investigate your case, consult with safety experts, and fight to hold negligent parties accountable. Don’t let insurance companies minimize your injuries. Let us be your voice while you focus on healing.
