Personal Injury Attorneys: Construction Accidents

Working in the construction industry is one of the most dangerous occupations in America. Despite strict regulations by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), thousands of construction workers are injured in on-the-job accidents every year.

Injured construction workers frequently believe their only source of financial compensation is their workers' comp benefits. While it is true that you cannot hold your employer responsible for injuries sustained in a construction accident, there may be other sources of liability. These are called third-party claims.

It is important to evaluate injuries in the workplace to see whether or not an injured worker has a third-party personal injury claim due to another party's negligence or a product in use on the site, as well as his or her workers' compensation claim. The injured person may well be entitled to substantial compensation in addition to workers' compensation coverage (sometimes referred to as "workman's compensation" coverage).

The attorneys of Hersh & Hersh have won impressive amounts of financial compensation for people injured in a broad range of construction accidents, including:

• Scaffolding accidents
• Ladder accidents
• Falls from roofs
• Trench collapses
• Failures to provide safety harnesses
• Construction equipment accidents
• Saw accidents
• Nail gun accidents
• Electrocutions

Hersh & Hersh successfully represented a carpenter who was severely injured at a jobsite due to faulty scaffolding construction. The client not only had a workers' compensation claim with his employer, but also a claim against the scaffolding company and the general contractor.

Whether your accident was caused by contractor negligence, a fall from an improperly installed scaffolding or another work crew's failure to post proper warnings, or a product used on the site, we will aggressively pursue full compensation for your accident.
