Construction Injuries

It can be terrifying to get an emergency phone call letting you know that someone you love has been hurt at a construction site. It can be even more terrifying to be the person who is injured in a construction accident. At the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. we understand that when people get injured at a construction site, the injuries are frequently life threatening, if not fatal, and we are here to fight for your rights as an injured person who is entitled to medical care and compensation.

Our personal injury attorneys will do everything we can to hold all liable parties responsible for your construction accident so that we can get you the treatment that you need to recover. If the injuries you sustained are permanent and you are no longer able to work, we will do our best to get the negligent parties to pay you enough compensation so that you and your family have the funds that you need to live comfortably.

Construction accident cases are very complicated and difficult to prove, especially as there may be more than one party responsible for causing your injuries due to negligence or carelessness. At a construction site, the construction company, the manufacturers of construction equipment, site architects, engineers, subcontractors, and others working on the project are all obligated to follow certain safety requirements. If any of these parties do not follow the safety regulations, and someone is injured in a construction accident, the negligent parties may be held liable.

Common Construction Accidents
Common construction accidents can include scaffolding accidents, crane accidents, electric shock, fires, exposure to toxic substances, falls, welding accidents, equipment malfunctions, getting run over by a tractor or truck, and being struck by large falling or moving objects. Injuries in a construction accident can range from mild cuts and bruises to severe fractures, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, burns, paralysis, other physical injuries, and wrongful death.

A construction site is dangerous enough to begin with without making it less safe for the workers there. If necessary, our construction accident attorneys will consult with construction safety and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) experts to prove that your injuries were sustained at your construction job due to another's negligence. If you are not a construction worker but were injured at a construction site in an accident that was someone else's fault, you too have the right to be compensated for your injuries. We will do everything we can to help you.
