Injured in a construction accident? We can help.
If you have been injured on a construction site, the law does not allow you to sue your employer for negligence. However, workers' compensation benefits are available for workers injured on construction sites. Our attorneys are experienced in handling workers compensation claims and additional liability claims involving all types of construction accidents, including:
- Brick masonry accidents: Did a brick falling from an elevated height cause a loved one to suffer a head injury? Did you suffer an injury in a bricklaying accident?
- Scaffolding accidents: Did the scaffolding collapse while you were on it? Did you fall off of scaffolding? Did you suffer a spinal cord injury or other serious injury in a scaffolding accident?
- Ladder accidents: Did you fall from a ladder, causing a serious neck injury or back injury?
- Heavy machinery accidents: Did you lose a finger or hand in an accident involving heavy machinery? Did defective or dangerous machinery contribute to the accident?
- Construction equipment accidents: Did you fall from a forklift, crane, excavation equipment or other construction equipment? Were you hit by another worker operating such equipment?
- Other construction accidents: Did you injure your back while doing heavy lifting? Did you puncture your hand with a staple gun or hammer — causing nerve damage?
Our lawyers are experienced in helping construction workers obtain compensation after a serious jobsite injury. If you suffered a knee injury, back injury, shoulder injury, neck injury or other workplace injury, we can help you through the process to obtaining the financial support you need for lost wages, medical expenses and other expenses.
