Construction Accident
Working at a construction site is one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Each year, thousands of construction workers are injured and even killed in a construction accident. If you have been injured on a construction site or you are a family member of someone killed on a construction site, you should contact a lawyer experienced in representing injured construction workers. These claims often involve a complex legal analysis, which may involve elements of workers' compensation law, third party negligence,and defective product law. We will fight to help you recover damages for medical treatment, lost wages, and permanent impairment.
When a construction site accident occurs, the owners, architects, insurance companies, general contractors, sub-contractors and manufacturers of equipment may be responsible for any injury caused by their negligence. These entities must provide a reasonably safe place to work, warn of dangers and hazards inherent in the site, and coordinate job safety.
Common injuries that occur at construction sites include:
- Broken and/or fractured bones (neck, back, arm, leg, hip)
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Electrocution
- Burn Injuries
- Quadriplegia
- Paraplegia
- Wrongful Death
