Construction Sites Have Many Hazards
How were you injured? There are numerous dangers in construction work, including:
- Scaffolding accidents
- Heavy equipment accidents

- Construction defects
As a scaffolding accident attorney, I can help you after a fall from elevated heights. I can also represent you in any other construction accident claims.
Your Injuries May Be Severe And Life-Changing
Construction work injuries tend to be catastrophic or fatal. The nature of this work is very dangerous, and there are countless ways to be injured. Some of the most serious injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken or crushed bones
- Amputations

These are just a few of the common injuries workers may suffer. If you lost a family member to wrongful death, I can help you with that, too.
Construction Accident Frequently Asked Questions
Can you sue someone other than your employer for a construction accident?
Yes, in fact, that is how third-party liability claims are handled. There are many other employers and contractors on a job site. If a third party is responsible for your injuries, you can sue them in a construction negligence lawsuit. This claim is in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits and will likely include damages for pain and suffering.
What compensation is available for construction accident victims?
There may be compensation from a negligent third party, as mentioned above. You can also seek workers’ compensation benefits for construction accidents, which include a portion of your lost wages, all of your medical care and additional benefits.
