Construction Site Accidents

Construction workers, employees of contractors and others who are injured on a construction site often have claims in addition to workers' compensation.  At Pope & Howard, we know about construction accident injuries and are often contacted by workers' compensation lawyers who ask us to help them obtain fair compensation for those who have been injured on construction sites.
Construction site accidents usually involve complex factual or legal issues.   There are often many contractors and subcontractors on a construction site, who are all subject to complex regulatory and contractual obligations.  We know how to find these regulations and how to uncover the evidence necessary to support a case.  We also know how to navigate the complex regulations from OSHA and state and local governments, as well as industry standards and building codes.

Construction accidents are usually more complex than simply showing that an injury occurred on a construction site.  We consult numerous experts, including accident reconstructionists, industrial engineers, biomechanical engineers, human factors experts, and safety experts.  We assemble documentation and evidence, we interview witnesses, and we make sure that we know the law so that every case will be ready for trial.
