Construction Accidents
A roofer brushes against a live power line and is electrocuted. A window installer falls from an unstable ladder. A highway worker is struck by a passing driver confused by the construction signage. The common thread? Failure of employers or others to provide for the safety of those on site.
If you or a loved one have been seriously hurt in a worksite accident, contact the personal injury law team at Percy, Tedeschi & Associates, P.C., for a free consultation about your case. We protect the rights of workers and passersby who are injured due to unsafe working conditions, use of dangerous equipment, inadequate safety barriers or signs, and negligence on the part of co-workers and employers.
We can represent you in all types of construction-related accidents including:
- Carpenter struck by a car
- Scaffolding accidents
- Lift truck boom collapsed
- Heavy equipment accidents
- Falls from ladders
- Electrocution
- Burns from fires or chemical spills
- Loading and unloading accidents
- Injuries from working in windy or wet conditions
Workers' Compensation covers medical care and lost wages, but the payments are limited and do not assign fault. We seek damages above and beyond Workers' Compensation, as the law allows, to ensure that the victim's current and future needs are fully met.
Holding Employers Accountable for Safety
The employer owes a safe work environment to its workers, and is obligated to take reasonable measures to ensure safety. We seek compensation for victims of construction site accidents relating to negligent or reckless actions and orders, unqualified equipment operators, OSHA violations and other employer liability. We also represent the general public when they are injured in construction zones, such as slip-and-falls and public scaffolding insurance liability claims. These injuries are frequently severe, resulting in crushed or amputated limbs, paralysis and spinal cord injuries, burns, vision loss or hearing damage, back and neck injuries, loss of mobility and other permanent disability.
Maximum Compensation for Construction Accidents
The personal injury law team at Percy, Tedeschi & Associates, P.C., will stay focused on you, your case, your needs and your results in obtaining the maximum financial recovery as soon as possible. Through jury trial or insurance settlement, the personal law attorneys at Percy, Tedeschi & Associates, P.C., seek maximum compensation for medical expenses and future care, loss of wages and lost earning potential, and other damages such as loss of enjoyment. When these accidents turn fatal, we also represent surviving families in filing wrongful death lawsuits.
