Construction sites are filled with heavy machinery, unstable surfaces, and constant activity — all of which create serious risks. Common causes of accidents include:
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs
Falling tools or debris
Electrical accidents or electrocution
Heavy machinery malfunctions
Trench collapses or structural failures
Negligent supervision or lack of safety training
Unsafe working conditions or OSHA violations
Even if workers’ compensation covers some expenses, it often isn’t enough to make up for lost wages and long-term medical needs.
Construction accidents often lead to severe, life-altering injuries such as:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Broken bones and fractures
Burn injuries
Amputations and crush injuries
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Repetitive stress or overexertion injuries
These injuries can prevent you from returning to work and create major financial strain for your family.
Liability isn’t always straightforward in construction cases. Multiple parties may share responsibility, including:
General contractors who fail to provide safe working conditions
Subcontractors who neglect safety rules
Equipment manufacturers whose products malfunction
Property owners who overlook hazards on the premises
Third-party drivers or vendors who cause site-related accidents
Our team investigates every angle to determine all responsible parties — not just your employer — to maximize your recovery.
Depending on your case, you may be eligible for:
Medical expenses and rehabilitation
Lost wages and future earning potential
Pain and suffering
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was killed)
If negligence caused your accident, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation.
Report the injury immediately to your supervisor.
Seek medical treatment — even if your injury seems minor.
Document everything — take photos, collect witness names, and note unsafe conditions.
