Helping Injured Construction Workers Get Full Compensation for Injuries and Accidents Caused by Negligent Third Parties

A serious injury on a construction site often prevents the injured employee from returning to work for many weeks; some injuries prevent a worker from ever returning to work. If you or a family member suffered a serious construction accident injury, contact The O'Quinn Law Firm for a free case evaluation.

When an employer of construction workers causes the serious injury or death of an employee, the employer can be held liable through a workers' compensation claim. However, many construction laborers are seriously injured through the negligence of a third party, such as a cement worker, electrician, plumber, provider of equipment or other subcontractor.

At The O'Quinn Law Firm, our personal injury lawyers help injured construction workers take on subcontracting companies, defective product manufacturers and other companies that are responsible for their serious injuries.

Using Our Resources and Reputation as an Accomplished Personal Injury Firm in Construction Accident Cases

With hundreds of employees and subcontractors on construction sites trying to complete their goals quickly, it is no wonder that construction accidents are growing more common at an alarming rate. The construction injury attorneys at our firm are focused on helping workers who are injured in these all-too-common accidents:

  • Dropped tools
  • Falling debris
  • Fall from great height
  • Scaffolding and ladder falls
  • Defective tools and machinery
  • Unsafe use of power tools
  • Electrocution, fires and explosions
  • Caustic and hazardous chemical spills
  • Contact with high-voltage overhead power lines
  • Heavy machinery, such as backhoes, graders and cranes

These construction accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, crush injuries resulting in amputation, electrocutions and electrical shocks, and severe burns - any of which can result in wrongful death.

We dedicate our full resources to construction accident cases. Our firm can help you get the full compensation you need and deserve. Contact The O'Quinn Law Firm through this Web site to request a free case evaluation.
