A construction injury case requires a team approach. We utilize a team of professionals to bring in the expertise needed to properly prosecute your case. Time is important, because evidence can disappear. Evidence from the worksite can be removed and witnesses move or conveniently forget what they saw in order to keep their jobs. Video can be taped over. We are an experienced construction site accident law firm who knows how to deal with these issues.
There are many different types of benefits available to help injured employees. First, there is workers’ compensation, which will pay for your medical bills and give you a portion of your wages while you are unable to work. There are also many forms of disability benefits if you are permanently unable to perform the work you used to do after you have recovered. Finally, an accident that was caused by a negligent third party may be eligible for a claim, which provides payment for pain and suffering and future loss of income.
Every day since your accident has likely been filled with worry rather than recovery. You’re lucky to be alive after what you’ve suffered. Perhaps the insurance company appears to be willing to work with you on your bills. The problem is, the medical bills are still piling up, you don’t know if or when you can go back to work, and you may need frequent medical care for the rest of your life. We understand what you are going through. We routinely handle complex construction accident cases that involve insurance, property owners, employers, and others who attempt to deny just and fair payment to injured parties. We have helped clients get the compensation they deserved for the emotional and physical suffering of a construction injury, allowing them to focus on their recovery without worrying about the financial burden.
Our goal is to make the world safer. Unfortunately, not everyone prioritizes safety. When they don’t, we hold them accountable. By hitting them where it hurts most, their pocketbooks, they are forced to pay attention to safety. That’s how we affect change.
Construction is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. Injuries or fatalities resulting from construction accidents lead to workers' compensation claims and in some cases, injury lawsuits.
Serious and fatal construction accidents often occur when an employer, property owner, or other party fails to correct a dangerous or unsafe condition on site.

Being injured in a construction site accident is a frightening and disorientating experience. Your body may be flooded with a surge of adrenaline immediately after a construction injury, which can make it difficult to fully understand what happened. You might believe you are okay, but without a multiple medical assessments over time, you may overlook hidden injuries and make uninformed decisions or dismissive statements that could affect your legal rights.
To prevent this, here are some initial actions you should take if you are ever involved in a construction injury.
Call 911 immediately. We’ve seen countless cases where symptoms develop over time. Even if you feel okay on the day of the accident, but worse the following day, seek medical attention to create a record. Make sure the hospital or doctor takes photos to include with your medical records.
Carefully document any details about the day of the injury. Your health that day, the weather conditions if relevant, and known issues with the site or equipment. Take photographs of the worksite where you were injured, and what you believe caused the injury. It may be equipment, failure of a ladder or scaffolding, or a generally unsafe situation. Identify witnesses.
Report your injuries to your supervisor or employer, and to the general contractor but do not hypothesize about how or why you were injured.

Most construction workers are covered by workers compensation insurance provided by their employers, which can cover medical bills and time lost from work. Unfortunately, most construction site injuries lead to other damages, or harms and losses, such as the following, which are not covered by workers compensation:
This is called comparitive negligence. Even if you are found by a jury to be 50% at fault, we can still recover compensation for the negligence of the employer, property owner, machine manufacturer, or others who contributed to your injury. We will thoroughly investigate your case to deternime who should be named in the lawsuit.
In short, no. It is widely known that an injured worker always has the right to bring a worker’s compensation claim against his/her employer. But these claims generally only result in a recovery of lost wages and medical expenses. Generally, no pain and suffering or other general damages are available in a worker’s compensation claim in Massachusetts. Once we determine that another party other than the worker’s employer is negligent and at least partially responsible for causing the construction site accident or for creating an unsafe condition or worksite, they can be sued directly in a construction site personal injury lawsuit. We are experienced in discovering failures in training, safety procedures, supervision and job site conditions that lead to cases like yours. All injuries are preventable if systems are in place and safety rules are followed. You deserve to be fully compensated for your loss.
