Investigating Construction Accidents

All construction accident cases we handle begin with a thorough investigation.  Depending on the accident, there are many parties that could be responsible or negligent in causing your injury or a loved one’s death. We work with some of the best investigators in the country, and will promptly determine who is responsible or negligent.  Our investigators will take pictures, interview witnesses and gather witnesses as soon as possible after an accident. Once we have determined who is responsible, we can help you recover compensation for your injuries.
Supervisors, subcontractors and the general contractor all have a duty to make the construction site working environment as reasonably safe as possible.  If a party is found to be negligent in keeping a working area safe, or fails to warn workers and other bystanders of potential hazards or dangers, they may be held liable for injuries or fatalities. Many construction accidents are caused by the failure to maintain equipment or machinery. Other accidents are caused by failure to comply with mandated safety standards. Some of the parties that could cause a construction accident include:

• Architects
• Delivery truck drivers
• Equipment manufacturers
• General contractors
• Property owners
• Service providers
• Subcontractors
