Based in Phoenix and Serving All of Arizona - Construction Accidents
Construction sites can present serious dangers to workers and others in the vicinity. Construction accidents often occur as a result of workers being required to lift heavy objects, operate large machinery, and work at great heights. Common causes of construction accidents include exposure to hazardous materials, collapsing scaffolding, injuries involving tools or debris, and employees falling from elevated heights. Injuries sustained as a result of these accidents can be very severe and may result in short or long-term disability, permanent work loss, and even death.
Phoenix-area residents who have been injured in construction accidents can contact our lawyers for legal guidance. When our injury lawyers take your construction accident case, we work with a panel of construction practice and safety experts. Given the complex nature of construction accident cases, these experts are invaluable in explaining issues of responsibility and negligence to the jury.
Who is held responsible for construction accidents?
Due to the inherent danger of construction sites, the construction company or property owner is responsible for taking necessary precautions to prevent any accidents. Proper rules of conduct and safety practices can reduce the risk of a worker or passerby being injured. If the negligence of an individual leads to a preventable construction accident, that person may be liable for the victim’s injuries. Our lawyers in Phoenix know the ins and outs of construction accident litigation and can determine whether you have a case against the employer, general contractor, or subcontractors at the site.
- Employers
- Employers of construction workers must ensure their employees are properly trained.
- A supervisor at a construction site is responsible for enforcing safety measures.
- Manufacturing Companies
- Companies that manufacture construction equipment and products that prove to be defective are held liable.
- Other Responsible Parties
- Other parties involved in the construction process may be held liable, such as architects or scaffolding companies.
Our Phoenix lawyers have extensive litigation experience with construction accidents. Injury victims are entitled to compensation for past and future medical expenses, wage loss, pain, suffering, and, in certain cases, punitive damages. In addition, if a victim dies and his or her survivors suffer economic loss or emotional distress as a result, the survivors may be entitled to recover full compensation.
