Construction equipment is usually big, heavy and difficult to operate safely. Designers and manufacturers are required by law to ensure workers using their products are kept reasonably safe from danger. Construction employers share responsibility to ensure proper training and safety.

Lawyers Who Take Effective Action When Workers Are Hurt

Proper training of personnel and proper maintenance of the equipment and tools involved can help prevent construction accidents. When the training is shirked, the equipment is defective or when the worksite is unsafe, construction sites become dangerous places. As trial lawyers with 30 years of legal experience, we know that the hazards involved are real. We also know how to navigate the complex laws, regulations, standards and contracts towards a path to recovery for the workers upon whom we depend so much.

We represent construction workers injured or killed in fatal accidents such as:

• Fork lift and other construction vehicle accidents
• Product liability, defective construction tools
• Exposure to dangerous chemicals
• Burns, electrocution

In addition, we represent workers injured in other kinds of construction site accidents, including:

• Scaffold and ladder falls
