Construction Accidents
The construction environment can be a dangerous place to work and navigate. Construction sites are dynamic job sites, fraught with heavy machinery, trenches, holes, scaffolding, electrical and high voltage dangers, heights to fall from, moving parts, distracted workers, workers of varying trades and skill levels, outside interferences, and many other hidden or concealed pitfalls.
Unfortunately, the construction environment is where some of the most catastrophic and horrific injuries occur and many of our laws—such as the worker’s compensation and statutory employer provisions—can seriously limit a victim or victim’s family’s ability to seek fair compensation.
The attorneys at Silverman Thompson are skilled at navigating and litigating construction injury cases and the complex legal issues that these cases can bring.
