Construction remains one of the most dangerous industries in the country. Falls from scaffolding and rooftops, electrocution, strikes from heavy equipment, trench collapses, and crane accidents account for the vast majority of serious and fatal construction injuries. OSHA refers to these as the “Fatal Four,” and together they cause well over half of all construction worker deaths each year.

When a construction worker goes down on a job site, the legal picture rarely stays simple. Workers’ compensation may cover a fraction of the actual loss, but it often falls far short of what the injury truly demands. Third-party claims against general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners can deliver the full recovery a worker and their family need.
