Evansville, Louisville, and Indianapolis Construction Accident Attorneys Help Injured Workers and Bystanders

Construction sites are inherently dangerous places, and although construction companies follow strict standards of safety, serious accidents can happen. Not only are construction workers at risk, but passersby are often endangered as well as well. Many times, construction accidents occur because of negligent actions by those responsible for the safety of the site, such as property owners, contractors, and site supervisors. If you have been injured in such an accident, our Evansville, Louisville and Indianapolis construction accident attorneys will help you through this difficult time and stand up for your legal rights.

Causes of Construction Accidents

Many times, accidents occur on construction sites because the proper warning signs were not posted or other safety standards were not upheld. When an accident occurs, those responsible for the safety of the site, such as the contractor, property owner, or site supervisors, can be held liable for injuries sustained in resulting accidents. Employers also have a responsibility to properly train their employees, in order to prevent accidents from occurring. In short, anyone who causes a preventable construction accident through negligence may be held liable for the injuries that are caused.

Injuries typically result from the following construction accidents:

  • Falls from roofs, scaffolding and ladders
  • Falls in holes without barricades, guarding, or warnings
  • Dangerous or defective equipment
  • Electrocutions
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Falling objects

In addition to accidents that result from unsafe conditions, some accidents occur on construction sites because of defective equipment. Under product liability law, the manufacturers and sellers of defective construction equipment can be held liable for injuries that result from its use.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident, our attorneys can help you get the compensation you need to move on with your life.

Construction Accident Injuries

Injuries resulting from construction site accidents are often debilitating, preventing the injured from returning to work or their former way of life. Serious personal injury such as a brain injury or spinal cord injury can result, possibly leaving the victim permanently disabled. Those injured in a construction accident may be able to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for their pain and suffering. At Gerling Law in Evansville, Louisville, and Indianapolis, our construction accident attorneys can help you pursue compensation from the responsible party for pain and suffering, present and future lost wages, medical bills, and lost benefits.

Fatal Construction Accident Injuries

Sometimes, the injuries sustained in a construction accident can be fatal. In such cases, the family members of the deceased may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. If you have suffered the death of a loved one in a construction accident, our lawyers can review your case to determine if you have a wrongful death claim.
