You Are Entitled to a Safe Workplace

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) sets standards and regulations to ensure workers in the construction industry are entitled to a safe work place. If you have been injured, you may be entitled to file a third party claim for pain and suffering against those responsible for your injuries. Falling from scaffolding, ladders, forklifts, and cranes is a common way workers are injured. Other injuries include:

  • Electrocution
  • Lifting and repetitive motion injuries
  • Hit by moving or falling equipment
  • Exposure to chemicals

Construction Injuries from Defective Equipment

We represent people who have been injured from unsafe or defectively made construction products. The manufacturers of machinery and equipment may be liable for the injuries. We help clients bring forward product liability claims to ensure appropriate compensation is recovered.

You May be Entitled to File a Workers' Compensation Claim

We also help clients who are entitled to file a workers' compensation claim in addition to their third party claim. A qualified attorney from our firm can help you file for and obtain workers' compensation benefits.
