The construction industry is one of the most hazardous business sectors in the United States: 1 out of 10 construction workers are injured every year and most injury cases cause construction workers to miss more than 31 days of work. Despite on-site safety measures, construction accidents are a common occurrence and thousands of workers are killed or injured every year in the United States.
Some of the construction site accidents we handle are:
- Scaffolding Accidents
- Electrocution
- Construction Site Fall
- Machinery Accidents
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
- Forklift and Crane Accidents
- Falling Construction Materials
- Nail Gun Accidents
- Pedestrian Injuries
- Hazardous Gases and Materials
- Welding, Cutting and Brazing Accidents
General contractors, including all subcontractors are obligated to furnish a safe and secure job site for their employees. They are obligated to make notice or announce any hazard like conditions, to employ cautious employees, to work safety and to manage compliance with safety rules and regulations. When a construction site accident occurs, the owners, architects, insurance companies and equipment manufacturers can be held responsible for inadequate safety provisions. Serious injuries to construction workers are destructive and devastating to the victims and their families. Because construction workers usually work with heavy industrial equipment with sometimes little or no light, a life-threatening accidental injury can end a career. Since tradesmen are typically well paid and accept excellent benefits, finding a comparable job is nearly unattainable. We have seen too many families fall apart over these types of tragedies, and we know how to help our clients obtain the compensation they deserve. We will fight to help you recover the damages you need to cover lost wages, medical bills and future losses.
