Construction Accidents

Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in America. Every day, workers face the risk of falls, machinery accidents, electrical hazards, and collapsing structures — often while employers cut corners on safety to save money. When a preventable accident happens, the results can be life-altering.

At Wolfe Trial Lawyers, we stand with construction workers and their families. Attorney Brandon Wolfe understands that behind every case is a person who just wanted to do an honest day’s work — and now faces pain, financial strain, and uncertainty. Our mission is simple: to fight for injured workers and make sure those responsible for unsafe conditions are held accountable.

Common Causes of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents are often the direct result of negligence, improper supervision, or violations of safety standards. Wolfe Trial Lawyers investigates each case thoroughly to uncover the truth and identify all liable parties. Common causes include:

• Falls from heights on ladders, scaffolds, or rooftops
• Falling objects or debris from overhead
• Electrocution from unsafe wiring or exposed power lines
• Machinery and equipment failures
• Trench or structural collapses
• Slip and fall hazards from cluttered or slippery work areas
• Lack of protective gear or proper training
• Negligent subcontractors or general contractors

We also handle cases involving OSHA violations, where companies ignored safety rules designed to protect workers.

Serious Injuries That Change Lives

Construction accidents often cause severe, life-changing injuries. Victims may require surgeries, rehabilitation, or permanent medical care. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Crush injuries and amputations
• Severe burns and electrical injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal bleeding and organ damage

Wolfe Trial Lawyers helps workers and families pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of these injuries — physically, emotionally, and financially.

Beyond Workers’ Compensation: Holding Others Accountable

While injured workers are usually entitled to workers’ compensation, that system often doesn’t cover the full cost of recovery. It may not account for pain, suffering, or long-term disability.

That’s why Wolfe Trial Lawyers looks deeper. In many cases, third parties — such as contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners — can also be held liable. These third-party claims allow victims to pursue additional damages beyond workers’ comp benefits.

We investigate every angle to determine whether negligence outside your employer contributed to your accident. If it did, we’ll build a powerful case to maximize your recovery.

Compensation for Construction Accident Victims

Depending on your case, Wolfe Trial Lawyers may pursue compensation for:

• Medical expenses and long-term care
• Lost wages and future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of consortium for spouses and families
• Wrongful death damages for fatal construction accidents

We work with engineers, medical experts, and safety professionals to uncover the truth, document your losses, and build a compelling claim that gets results.
