Construction Accidents

Because they occur in the workplace, construction site and industrial accidents involve unique aspects that do not apply to most personal injury claims. Many accident victims may only be eligible for workers' compensation or social security disability benefits. If you have suffered a catastrophic injury or lost a family member in scaffolding accident, or other workplace incident, contact a construction accident attorney at The Sasser Law Firm today.

Comprehensive Services for ALL of Your Needs

The Sasser Law Firm represents people and families from throughout the Carolinas and elsewhere in construction-related injury and wrongful death claims. As a firm, their skills, efforts, and resources are focused on cases involving fatal or catastrophic injuries resulting from:

  • OSHA violations
  • Serious falls and injuries caused by falling objects
  • Defective equipment or power tools
  • Negligent subcontractors
  • Electrocution
  • Scaffolding failures
  • Improperly maintained construction equipment
  • Unsecured ladders
  • Chemical exposure
  • Substandard building materials

Although there are some exceptions, in general, employers will be immune from anything other than a workers' compensation claim in these cases. Personal injury claims arise because construction sites often have employees from many different companies working there. If the negligent party is a co-worker, workmans' comp benefits apply. But if another employer or one of their employees is responsible for the accident, a personal injury claim can be pursued.

Protecting yourself requires that you take action and hire a construction accident attorney sooner rather than later. The attorneys at The Sasser Law Firm know how to investigate these cases and can act quickly to conduct a safety audit of the job site. Their firm also has the resources and experience required to take on large manufacturers in the event that your accident was caused by an unsafe product.
