CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
The term “construction accident” refers to incidents that occur on construction sites resulting in injury or death to workers, bystanders, or visitors. These accidents can involve various hazards present in construction environments, such as falls from heights, electrical shocks, collapsing structures, machinery accidents, and more. Below are a few instances where we’ll likely represent you in your claim for damages:
A construction worker falls from an improperly secured scaffold while performing roofing work.
A construction worker encounters live electrical wires while operating machinery near power lines.
Excavation work on a construction site results in the collapse of a trench, burying workers under tons of soil and debris.
A crane operator loses control of the crane, causing it to malfunction and drop heavy materials onto nearby workers.
A partially constructed building collapses due to faulty design, substandard materials, or improper construction practices.
A forklift operator collides with a pedestrian on the construction site due to poor visibility or reckless operation.
Improper handling or storage of hazardous chemicals on a construction site leads to a chemical spill, exposing workers to toxic substances.
A construction worker slips on a wet or uneven surface while navigating the construction site, resulting in a fall.

Preserving Your Construction Accident Claim
If you become injured in construction, at no fault of your own, please do the following:
Get help. Call 911 and wait for emergency services to arrive.
Take pictures of the area. If possible, take photographs of the dangerous condition that led to your injury. The more photographs, the better. If you’re too injured to take pictures, ask a friend, family member, or witness to take some for you.
Gather witness information. Write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the other people who were present when the accident occurred.
Seek medical help. Ensure that you visit a doctor and obey their treatment suggestions.
Document everything. In addition to saving all bills, letters of correspondence, and reports surrounding your accident, write down what you remember as soon as possible while the memory is still fresh to ensure important details aren't lost.
