Industrial & Construction Accidents
Construction Accident Attorney Lafayette Louisiana
Construction is the United States' largest industry, and unfortunately, construction site and industrial accidents kill and injure thousands of workers each year. Despite legal and trade provisions in place to prevent construction and industrial accidents, one out of every ten construction workers suffer some kind of on the job injury, including:
- Falls
- Scaffolding, Crane, Derrick, Conveyor, Ladder, Winch, Grater, Scraper, Backhoe, and Boiler Accidents
- Electric Shock
- Trench Collapse
- Fire and Explosion
- Highway Vehicle Accidents
- Compressed Gases Accidents
- Welding Accidents
Although most injured workers will be entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits, these benefits will not cover all of the expenses faced by an injured worker and generally do not cover pain and suffering and the full range of damages available to the loved ones of a worker who is killed in an accident.
When a construction site or industrial accident occurs, responsibility for the personal injury can be attributed to a variety of individuals or businesses, including the owners, contractors and subcontractors, engineers, electricians, scaffolding companies, architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of equipment.
Knowledge of federal and state regulations governing construction and industrial sites is imperative when developing theories against all of the third parties who may be responsible for a construction site accident. Our firm has the experience to inspect worksites, preserve evidence and identify and question critical witnesses.
