Fighting for Workers' Compensation and Other Financial Recovery
Because the building industry is rife with opportunities for injury, government and independent agencies have been established to advise on safety issues. Yet, even with OSHA and ACCSH recommendations and inspections, construction accidents occur regularly. Whether the problem is defective equipment or distracted equipment operators, the severity of injuries can be significant.
Injuries resulting from construction accidents may present life-long challenges for the injured victim and his or her family. Earning capacity may be permanently limited, as may be body function. If a work injury causes wrongful death, families lose not only a loved one but also a main source of income.
