We help with a wide range of construction accidents
Falls from Heights
Falls from ladders, scaffolding, roofs, or structural steel are the leading cause of injury. Partner attorneys investigate for OSHA violations and lack of proper fall protection to hold negligent parties accountable.
Struck by Falling Objects
Tools, building materials, or debris can cause devastating harm. Partner attorneys prove negligence by showing a failure to secure items or use safety netting.
Heavy Machinery & Crane Accidents
Crane collapses, forklift rollovers, and backhoe accidents create complex cases. Partner attorneys can identify liability from the operator, contractor, or equipment manufacturer.
Trench & Excavation Collapses
A trench collapse can be fatal. Partner law firms hold contractors liable when they fail to use proper shoring, sloping, or trench boxes as required by law.
Electrocutions and Burns
Contact with live power lines, unfinished wiring, or arc flashes can cause severe burns and electrocution. Partner attorneys pursue claims against contractors and utility companies who fail to ensure a safe work environment.
Explosions and Fires
Welding accidents, gas leaks, and improperly stored chemicals can lead to catastrophic explosions and fires. Our partner law firms work to uncover the root cause and identify all responsible parties.
Common types of construction accidents
Third-Party Liability Claims
While you can’t sue your employer if you get workers’ comp, you can sue negligent third parties. A third-party liability lawyer can help you file a claim against a general contractor, subcontractor, or property owner who caused your injury, allowing you to recover damages like pain and suffering not available through workers' comp.
Defective Equipment Accidents
When an injury is caused by faulty machinery, defective power tools, or failing safety equipment like harnesses or guards, you may have a case against the product manufacturer. An equipment failure attorney can establish that a defect in design or manufacturing led to your injuries.
General Contractor & Property Owner Negligence
The general contractor and property owner have a duty to maintain a safe site for all workers. If they fail to correct hazards, warn of dangers, or enforce safety rules, they can be held liable. A premises liability lawyer can help prove the site manager’s negligence contributed to your accident.
Structural Collapses
These accidents occur when a building, wall, or support structure gives way during construction, demolition, or renovation. They often result in catastrophic or fatal injuries. Investigating these collapses requires an expert team to analyze blueprints, materials, and construction methods to pinpoint the failure.
Welding and Cutting Accidents
These incidents can cause severe burns, vision damage from arc flashes, or respiratory illness from toxic fumes. A welding accident lawyer investigates whether proper safety gear, ventilation, and fire prevention measures were in place to protect workers.
Road Work Zone Accidents
Construction workers in road zones are vulnerable to being struck by passing vehicles. When a driver enters a coned-off area or ignores a flagger, they can be held responsible for the worker's injuries. A work zone accident attorney helps secure compensation from the negligent driver's insurance.
