Construction Accidents:
The lawyers at Williamson & Krauss provide
experienced representation for persons who have
suffered personal injuries as a result of a construction
site accident. When someone is injured on or near a
construction site, the owner or general contractor or a
subcontractor may be liable for any injuries sustained.
A construction site accident can be extremely serious,
and may cause permanent disability, loss of a limb,
head injury, scarring, and wrongful death. Often the
medical bills will be large, and there may be a long
period of disability and lost wages. Worker's
compensation may pay for some of the medical bills
and lost earnings, but worker's compensation cannot
adequately compensate an injured worker for
permanent losses and disability arising from a
serious construction accident.
Our attorneys represent bystanders who are injured in
construction site accidents as well as construction site
workers who are injured on the job. Our clients include
laborers, carpenters, electricians, iron workers, crane
operators, plumbers, masons, and all other
construction trades. Under state and Federal laws
and regulations, contractors and site owners are
responsible for providing a reasonably safe work
environment, and there are special laws in place to
protect those who work in high places, such as on a
scaffold, ladder or structural steel. Workers in all
trades are exposed to a variety of dangerous
conditions at work sites due to negligent and
dangerous conditions and practices of architects,
general contractors, subcontractors, product
manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and others.

What To Do If You Have a Construction Site
Accident:
Immediate investigation and preservation of evidence
is often a critical element in proving a personal injury
case involving construction accidents. Investigation
involves examination of the scene while the evidence,
such as materials and machinery, is fresh. It is often
necessary to get court orders to preserve evidence.
Prompt investigation of witnesses is also important.
After a construction accident, it is also critical to
establish contact with the investigating authorities,

Administration. General contractors and
subcontractors, as well as material suppliers, may
all need to be identified.
It is also essential that you get prompt medical
attention for your personal injuries if you are injured in
a construction accident. If you were injured while on
the job, then you should be entitled to workers'
compensation benefits.
