Common Construction Site Accidents
- Scaffolding collapses and falls from heights
- Crane and heavy machinery accidents
- Electrocution and power line contact
- Trench collapses and excavation injuries
- Falling tools, debris, or building materials
- Faulty safety equipment or lack of protective gear
- Burns, explosions, and chemical exposure
- Repetitive strain and overexertion injuries
You may have a case if you are:
- A construction worker injured on the job
- A subcontractor, laborer, or delivery person hurt on-site
- A pedestrian or nearby civilian injured by construction site activity
- A family member pursuing a wrongful death claim after a fatal accident
Depending on the details of your case, you may have several legal options for recovering compensation. You may be eligible to file a Workers’ Compensation claim, which provides benefits for medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who was at fault. In some cases, you may also be able to pursue a third-party injury lawsuit against a negligent property owner, contractor, or equipment manufacturer whose actions contributed to your injury. Additionally, if your accident was caused by defective equipment — such as a faulty ladder, power tool, or piece of machinery — you may have grounds for a product liability claim.
What to Do After a Construction Site Injury:
Get Medical Attention Right Away: Your health and safety come first. Seek immediate medical care, even if the injury seems minor.
Report the Injury: Notify your employer or site supervisor as soon as possible to ensure the incident is officially recorded.
Document Everything: Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any equipment involved. Collect names and contact information of any witnesses.
Don’t Sign Anything: Avoid signing documents from your employer or their insurance company before consulting with a qualified attorney.

Your Rights After a Construction Injury while on the job
In Florida, workers’ compensation may provide coverage for your medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages — but that’s often not enough to fully compensate you for the harm you’ve suffered. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit to recover additional damages. These may include full lost income, future medical and rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, loss of earning capacity, permanent disability, and, in tragic cases, wrongful death benefits for surviving family members. Our firm is committed to helping injured construction workers and their families pursue every available source of compensation to ensure they can rebuild their lives after a serious workplace injury.
