The term "construction accidents" means any accident involving a construction worker or bystander that occurs on a construction site.

Thousands of construction workers are injured or killed in accidents each year. Construction companies must inspect each site with safety engineers and provide safety programs, but unfortunately accidents still do occur.

When a construction site accident happens, the owners, architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of equipment can be held responsible for inadequate safety provisions. The general contractor and all subcontractors are required to provide a reasonably safe site, to warn of hazards inherent in the site and work, to hire careful employees, to coordinate job safety and to supervise compliance with safety specifications. Claims for injuries that occur at construction sites are both complex and expensive to prosecute.

Typically on any job site there are multiple companies that are performing work or are otherwise involved in that job site. This includes the owner, architect, engineers, and contractors and subcontractors. A personal injury lawyer who frequently handles construction site cases will be familiar with various personnel typically involved in different construction projects, their function, and the possibility of their involvement in the particular activity involved in your case. Also, there are various agreements and other construction documents that must be obtained and reviewed in order to determine who may be legally liable in any given case. A personal injury lawyer who handles construction cases will also be familiar with federal and state safety standards, as well as other construction standards, practices and procedures.

If you or a loved one has been in a construction accident, you need a law firm that can handle these cases. If we feel that our firm is not the most qualified to handle your particular case we will be happy to use our experience and know-how to help you find a lawyer that can provide you with the legal representation and dedication you deserve. Remember, we never charge you any fees or expenses, unless your case is successful.
