Construction is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, with workers facing a constant threat of serious injury from dangerous heights, heavy equipment, falling debris and many other hazards.
If you have been injured in a construction accident, contact our experienced Columbus construction accident lawyers for a free, no obligation legal consultation. Our skilled attorneys work on a contingency fee basis so we do not receive compensation unless our clients do first.
Construction sites are dangerous enough without the added element of negligence on the part of employers, contractors, subcontractors or others at the job site.
One of the most common forms of negligence at a construction site is a violation of workplace safety guidelines set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Common violations of OSHA guidelines include:
These safety violations can cause many serious and potentially life-threatening accidents, including:
All of these accidents have a high likelihood of causing death or serious injuries, such as:
Many of these injuries could have been prevented if employers and others had exercised greater care and followed OSHA guidelines.
That is why the law often allows victims of these injuries to file a legal claim for multiple forms of compensation, such as medical bills, physical therapy and rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering.
Our Columbus construction accident attorneys have the knowledge, skill and resources you need to have the best opportunity to recover all of the compensation you deserve.
Odds are that your construction injury will be covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation policy. The problem is that this policy may not provide enough compensation to pay for all the damages you have suffered.
Fortunately, a Columbus lawyer may be able to file a construction accident claim against a third party that played a role in your injury. Third parties could include engineers, architects, general contractors, sub-contractors or a multitude of others at the site of the accident.
