Forklift accidents, crane accidents, extreme ladder accidents, bulldozers gone wrong, and other machinery-related accidents.

Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Accident Cases

The most common type of construction accident is a fall from height — typically from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops. These accidents often lead to severe workplace injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injuries.

Other frequent construction accident cases and personal injury claims include:

  • Falling tools or debris
  • Electrocutions
  • Equipment malfunctions
  • Collapses and struck-by-object incidents

Each of these accidents can have devastating consequences, including lost income and serious injuries. That’s why it’s critical to contact a construction accident lawyer and pursue legal action immediately after an injury.

Every case is different, but most construction accident lawsuits take anywhere from several months to two years to resolve, depending on factors like the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether the case settles or goes to trial.

Our skilled personal injury lawyers will aim to resolve your claim as efficiently as possible. Our legal team balances speed with strategy, ensuring you get the maximum compensation you deserve, not just the fastest payout.

Proving negligence requires showing that someone — whether an employer, contractor, subcontractor, or equipment manufacturer — failed to meet a legal duty of care, leading to your injury.

Under tort law, negligence often involves proving that safety rules were ignored, machinery was defective, or proper training and supervision were not provided. Our construction accident lawyers gather evidence such as safety reports, witness statements, maintenance logs, and expert testimony to build a solid case.

To win a negligence case under personal injury law, your lawyer must establish four key elements:

  1. Duty of Care – The at-fault party had a legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment.
  2. Breach of Duty – They failed to uphold that responsibility (e.g., ignoring OSHA safety standards).
  3. Causation – Their actions (or inaction) directly caused your injury.
  4. Damages – You suffered measurable harm — physical, emotional, or financial — as a result.

Depending on the situation, liability may fall on:

  • General contractors, site supervisors, or construction companies who ignored safety hazards
  • Subcontractors or coworkers whose actions caused harm
  • Equipment manufacturers responsible for defective machinery
  • Property owners or developers who failed to maintain a safe site
