Handling Injuries Resulting from Poorly Maintained Construction Sites
When a construction site is improperly or negligently maintained, many people, from workers to innocent bystanders to inquisitive children, can suffer serious personal injury.

Helping Victims of Construction Site Negligence
When operating and maintaining a construction site, the owner of the site, as well as the general contractor and others, have a duty to use reasonable care to keep the site safe for workers and others who may use or be near the site. This includes:
- Providing adequate lighting to prevent trips, falls or other workplace accidents
- Posting appropriate warning signs in areas where there may be holes, uneven surfaces, excess water or moisture, or other known hazards
- Adequately warning employees and others of potential exposure to hazardous or toxic chemicals or other substances
- Ensuring proper ventilation in situations involving airborne toxins or other dangerous fumes
- Providing or verifying adequate training for anyone operating heavy equipment
In addition, a construction site owner may be liable for improperly securing the site. In some cases, this may result in the creation of an "attractive nuisance" which may pose a unique risk of injury to innocent children. For more information regarding "attractive nuisance," see our page on dangerous and unsafe working conditions.
Whether you have been injured because of the failure to warn or to provide any of the other protections listed above, we will aggressively seek compensation for all your losses, including lost wages and income, physical pain and suffering, medical bills, and loss of consortium or companionship.
We handle all types of injuries, from soft tissue to serious and catastrophic injuries, including closed head or traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury and paralysis, amputation and loss of limb. We also represent individuals and families in accidental or wrongful death claims.
We handle all construction accident claims on a contingency fee basis. The attorney's fee that we charge you will be a percentage of the amount we recover on your behalf. If we do not recover any money, we will not charge you any fee.
