Construction Site Accidents

Construction accident litigation is usually quite complicated. You need construction accident lawyers who will help you through workplace injuries. if a personal injury claim is appropriate, you can trust in our years of experience with difficult construction accident cases.

Employers may simply not know how to file a claim with their insurance.  In my experience, I have handled the following instances:

  • The Employer promises to pay the worker hurt on the job cash not to file a claim;
