Construction Accident Attorneys

The 'Fatal Four' construction hazards — falls, struck-by, caught-in/between, and electrocution — account for the majority of construction deaths. Common injuries include falls from scaffolding and roofs, crane collapses, trench cave-ins, forklift and heavy equipment incidents, and electrocutions from unmarked power lines.

For most injured workers, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy against their employer — but it covers only medical bills and a portion of lost wages, with no pain and suffering. Third-party claims against subcontractors, general contractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and other on-site parties can recover the full range of damages workers' comp doesn't touch.

OSHA regulations, state safety codes, and industry standards all inform what safety measures were required. We investigate whether missing guardrails, inadequate fall protection, defective equipment, or unsafe site conditions contributed — and we identify every non-employer party that shares responsibility.

Coordination matters. A workers' compensation lien typically attaches to any third-party recovery, and mishandling that lien can eliminate significant portions of the settlement. We coordinate both tracks so the injured worker keeps as much of the recovery as possible.
