Have you or someone you love been injured in a construction site accident?

Has your workers’ compensation or Social Security disability claim been denied? Instead of simply accepting this frustrating and overwhelming situation, fight back with help from an experienced construction site accident lawyer at the Law Offices of Bryan Musgrave.

Working with a Construction Site Accident Lawyer

Working in construction is not for the fainthearted. It is a tough, dangerous job ripe with hazardous working conditions, heavy machinery, and industrial tools. Construction companies, subcontractors, and vendors have an obligation to operate within accepted industry standards for equipment and workplace safety. If these parties are at fault for an accident through negligence or reckless behavior, they may be liable for the injuries and damages that result from the incident.

An injury can create physical, emotional, mental, and financial hardships for you and your family. The recovery process and the pain, struggle, and stress of dealing with an injury are often made more difficult as medical expenses and household bills pile up. In many cases, contacting a construction site accident lawyer is your best course of action if you want to ensure that you receive the full and fair compensation that you deserve.

Maintaining a culture of safety on a construction site is vital, because there are so many ways that things can go wrong. Accidents that typically occur on construction sites can be the result of all the following:

  • Falls
  • Falling objects
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Dangerous or defective tools, machinery, and equipment
  • Negligence in hiring, training, and monitoring workers

With the multitude of heavy equipment utilized and the hazardous conditions that exist on construction sites, injuries in this environment are often extremely serious. Head injuries, back injuries, amputations, broken bones, lacerations and contusions, internal injuries, and injuries requiring surgical intervention are common.

Understanding the Process

Following a construction site accident, seek out the medical care that you require. As you deal with doctors, hospitals, physical therapists, and pharmacists, be sure to save any relevant paperwork as it can be used to demonstrate your right to compensation when you file a claim.
