Construction Accidents
Fighting for workers and bystanders injured on dangerous job sites.
Construction sites combine heavy equipment, heights, and strict safety rules — when those rules are ignored, workers and passersby get hurt. You may have claims against employers, contractors, equipment owners, and property owners.
Kelso Law Group represents construction workers and others injured in preventable site accidents. At Kelso Law Group, our attorneys know how insurers and defense teams evaluate claims because we have defended large companies and carriers — and we use that insight to build stronger cases for our clients.
Common Construction Accident Cases We Handle
Construction injury claims often involve multiple responsible parties. We handle:
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and roofs
- Struck-by equipment and falling object injuries
- Electrocution and trench collapse accidents
- Crane and heavy machinery incidents
- Defective tools and safety equipment failures
- Third-party negligence on active job sites
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you should not have to bear the financial burden alone. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work and daily life, and the insurance coverage available.
Depending on your case, compensation may include:
- Emergency care, surgery, therapy, and future medical treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
What To Do After a Construction Accident
Job site injuries require immediate reporting and careful documentation. Follow these steps:
- Report the injury to your supervisor and seek emergency medical care.
- Document the site conditions, equipment involved, and witnesses present.
- Preserve photos of the hazard and your injuries when it is safe to do so.
- Do not give recorded statements to insurers without legal guidance.
- Contact Kelso Law Group to review workers’ compensation and third-party claims.
