Examples of construction site accidents

Our construction accident cases include matters such as:

• Defective machinery
• Explosions and fires at the work site
• Electrocution
• Falls from roofs, scaffolding and ladders
• Falling debris
• Defective scaffolding, ladders, cranes and forklifts
• Unguarded hazards
• Failure to follow OSHA regulations
• Failure to train laborers
• Welding accidents

• Improperly labeled hazardous materials

Serious injuries need compensation

Our attorneys file third party claims against subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers of equipment and tools. Because many construction accidents result in serious injury, such as brain injury or spinal cord injury, injured workers may never be able to work again. Many of those who can return to work are no longer able to perform their previous job. In both cases, we consult with life-care planners and medical experts to determine the full effect of the accident on your life.

At our law firm, we work to obtain the compensation that serious injuries demand so that our injured clients will be able to obtain the care they need. If you have suffered a serious construction site injury or have lost a loved one to an accident on the work site, contact our Walnut Creek, California, office to find out how we can help you.
