Fall Accident Claims

Falls are the leading cause of death and serious injury on construction sites. These accidents happen from scaffolds, ladders, roofs, and other high places. Many falls could be prevented with proper safety gear and training. We investigate whether your employer provided proper fall protection, if safety rules were followed, and if equipment was set up correctly. We work with safety experts to prove what caused your fall and get maximum compensation for your injuries.

Machinery and Equipment Accident Cases

Construction sites have a lot of dangerous machinery like cranes, bulldozers, forklifts, and power tools. Machinery accidents often cause serious injuries or death. These accidents may be caused by broken equipment, poor maintenance, or a lack of training. We investigate whether machines were properly maintained, if you received proper training, and if safety devices were functioning. We may also sue equipment manufacturers if defects caused your accident.

Third-Party Liability Claims

Construction sites usually involve multiple companies working simultaneously. If another contractor, subcontractor, or equipment manufacturer caused your accident, you may be able to sue them in addition to receiving workers’ compensation. These third-party claims often provide significantly better compensation than workers’ comp alone. We investigate all parties involved in your accident to identify everyone who may be at fault.

Attorney Services: Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Site Accidents

Our skilled legal team answers common questions about construction site accident cases

Understanding Construction Site Dangers

What are the most common types of construction site accidents?

Construction site accidents include falls from heights, being struck by falling objects, getting caught in or between machines, and electric shocks. Trench collapses, crane accidents, and burns are also common. Many accidents happen because of safety rule violations, poor training, or defective equipment. We investigate all possible causes to build the strongest case.

What should I do immediately after a construction site accident?

Get medical help right away, even if your injuries seem minor. Some injuries, like head trauma, may not show symptoms immediately. Report your accident to your supervisor and ensure it’s properly documented. Take photos of the accident scene if it’s safe. Get names and contact information from witnesses. Don’t sign any documents from your employer or insurance company before talking to a lawyer.

How do I know if my construction accident was caused by negligence?

Construction accidents are often caused by OSHA safety rule violations, inadequate training, lack of safety gear, or defective equipment. If your employer failed to provide proper fall protection, didn’t train you on equipment use, or ignored known dangers, they may be negligent. We investigate whether safety procedures were followed and identify all parties who may be at fault.

Legal Process and Rights

How long do I have to file a claim after a construction accident?

Time limits vary depending on the type of claim. Workers’ comp claims should be reported immediately and filed within 30 days. Personal injury claims against third parties generally have a two-year deadline. Don’t wait to contact a lawyer, because evidence disappears quickly at construction sites.

What if multiple companies were working on the construction site?

Construction sites often involve general contractors, subcontractors, and equipment rental companies all working together. Each may have different duties to keep workers safe. We investigate all companies involved in your accident to identify everyone who may be at fault. This can lead to much larger recoveries than just workers’ comp.

Can I sue if the construction site didn't follow OSHA rules?

Yes, OSHA rule violations can be strong evidence of negligence in third-party claims. While you can’t directly sue your employer for OSHA violations under workers’ comp, you can use OSHA violations to prove that other parties were negligent. We work with OSHA experts to identify all safety rule violations that led to your accident.

What evidence is important in construction accident cases?

Important evidence includes accident reports, safety inspection records, training records, OSHA citations, and witness statements. Photos and videos of the accident scene and equipment are crucial. Medical records showing your injuries are also important. We work quickly to preserve evidence before construction sites are cleaned up or changed.

Types of Injuries and Compensation

What types of injuries do construction workers often suffer?

Construction injuries range from minor cuts and bruises to life-threatening conditions. Common injuries include broken bones from falls, head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, cuts from tools, and crush injuries from heavy machinery. Some workers also develop lung problems from breathing dust and chemicals. We handle all types of construction injury cases.

Can I get compensation beyond workers' comp?

Yes, you may be entitled to additional compensation through third-party claims. Construction sites often involve many contractors working together. If another contractor’s negligence caused your accident, you can sue them. If defective equipment caused your injury, you can sue the manufacturer. These third-party claims often provide significantly better compensation than workers’ comp alone.

What if my injury prevents me from doing construction work?

If you can’t return to construction work, you may be entitled to vocational retraining and compensation for lost earning capacity. Some programs help retrain workers for new careers. We help workers get all the benefits they need to rebuild their lives after serious injuries that end their construction careers.
