Types of Construction Accidents

Most construction accident injuries are traumatic in nature, meaning they happened suddenly and forcibly. Falling objects, malfunctioning or poorly controlled machinery, and other hazards may cause broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, and a variety of other career and life-threatening injuries. In extreme cases, irresponsible conduct on the job site may end in a wrongful death.

Each of the construction accident lawyers at Fox, Goldblatt & Singer, P.C. is focused on maximizing the value of your case so you can provide for the needs of your family.

Construction Accident Liability

Construction accident litigation handled by our injury attorneys aims to secure compensation for you from the party or parties responsible for your injuries.  This could include other workers, site managers, engineers, architects, and designers, or any other parties whose negligent accidents contributed to an injury.

Engineers, architects, and designers are generally responsible for design and planning-related hazards. For instance, if a building design is not sufficiently supported, and it collapses, this would be a design flaw-related construction accident.

Site managers and other workers are typically held responsible for individual acts of negligence. A worker who leaves a piece of machinery running, for instance, causing a hazard, may be found negligent. Managers are responsible for keeping track of their crews, resulting in their potentially being found liable in the case of a worker being negligent and not responsive to the manager.
