Diligent in Investigation and Determining Who Is Liable for Damages
It is common for victims of construction accidents to assume that workers' compensation insurance is their only possible source of recovery if the injury occurred on a work site. In fact, third-party lawsuits are valid and winnable in many situations involving the negligence of subcontractors, consultants and product manufacturers. A few of the many types of construction site accidents we are prepared to evaluate for legal action are:
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders and other heights, often resulting in severe spinal cord injury, brain injury or death
- Severe injuries or fatalities resulting from use of defective or poorly maintained equipment including nail guns, other power and hand tools, and construction vehicles
- Cranes and other massive equipment that topple or collapse
- Injuries caused by falling debris or obstacles such as uncovered holes on the site
- Toxic chemical exposure
- Electrocutions, fires and explosions
