Construction Site Falls ● Industrial Equipment Injuries

Falls are the leading cause of injuries and fatalities in the construction industry. Owners, general contractors, and subcontractors can be held liable for injuries occurring on the job site when they have not met their duty to ensure a reasonably safe work environment. Serious injuries can result from:

  • Falling through unprotected walls, floors, or roofs
  • Falling from improperly braced scaffolding, faulty scaffolding, scaffolding that lacks safety equipment or guardrails
  • Tripping on equipment left by other subcontractors on scaffolding
  • Falling on an improperly constructed staircase
  • Being struck by falling power tools or construction materials

Another common type of injury occurring on construction sites is injuries from dangerous or defective industrial equipment, vehicles, or tools. Additionally, injuries can occur from overturned fork or scissor lifts or broken equipment. When construction equipment is faulty, you may have a claim against the manufacturer, distributor, and retailer.

Determining liability on a chaotic construction site can be challenging. Injury lawyer John Lowry has been handling personal injury cases for more than 15 years. His depth of experience, including work for insurance companies, has prepared him to handle even the most complex injury case.

Contact our office to discuss your case. We offer a free initial consultation to personal injury clients, and we handle personal injury cases on a contingent-fee bases, which means that we charge no attorneys' fees unless we obtain compensation for you.
