When Should You Hire a Construction Injury Attorney?

• You’ve suffered injuries that require medical treatment
• Your claim was denied by workers’ comp insurers
• Liability is unclear or shared among multiple parties
• The accident involved third parties beyond your employer

Early action ensures evidence—like photos, maintenance logs, or safety reports—remains intact.

Types of Construction Injuries We Handle

Our firm represents clients hurt by:

• Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs
• Heavy machinery and equipment accidents
• Electrocution or power line injuries
• Trench collapses, cave-ins, and structural failures
• Falling tools, debris, and unsecured loads
• Chemical exposures and toxic inhalation
• Repetitive strain injuries and overexertion

Whether you are a laborer, subcontractor, visitor, or bystander, we advocate for your full rights and benefits.

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

Liability in construction accident cases may extend beyond your employer to include:

• General contractors or site supervisors
• Equipment designers and manufacturers
• Property owners or developers
• Government entities (in public-site accidents)
• Maintenance and inspection contractors

We analyze every possible source of liability—and we pursue all responsible parties.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Eligible damages in a construction injury case may include:

• Medical expenses (immediate and long-term)
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• Pain and suffering and emotional trauma
• Loss of future benefits or retirement income
• Rehabilitation costs and assistive devices
• Wrongful death compensation (when applicable)

When third-party negligence contributed, we pursue both workers’ compensation benefits and personal injury claims.

• Evidence collection—accident reports, photos, and safety logs
• Coordination with medical and construction experts
• Filing your claim swiftly to preserve rights
• Appealing denials or benefit reductions
