Your Legal Rights After Suffering a Construction Site Accident

I have handled many construction site accident cases resulting in different types of major injuries even fatal construction accident injuries. A recent non-fatal case involved a construction site accident in which a laborer sustained a serious fracture and crush injury on the job site.

My client had two cases resulting from this construction site accident. He had an industrial accident for which he received workers compensation from his employer. He also had a third party case against several defendants for their negligence and for inadequate safety procedures on the job site. After extensive litigation, including many depositions, use of experts, and working closely with medical experts I was able to recover nearly 2 million dollars for my client.

Severe Injury and Fatal Construction Accident Cases

Many similar construction site accident cases involving cranes, trucks, fork lifts and Bob Cats result in crush injuries and crush injury syndromes such as RSD disease. A fatal or serious construction accident sometimes involves traumatic brain injury. An experienced construction accident attorney will often be able to identify several responsible parties who can be held liable or contribute to an over all settlement compensating a seriously injured worker or the deceased's family in a fatal construction accident case. Frequently other subcontractors, the general contractors, project manager or equipment operators may be liable for the plaintiff's injuries. I am presently representing the estate of a deceased worker who fell to his death because of negligence by the general and sub contractor on a construction site. The case requires the use of an expert forensic engineer who can reconstruct the accident based on the forensics. The expert will create a computer simulation of the accident. which will be helpful at mediation or trial of the case.
