CONSTRUCTION & WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS  No one expects to get hurt on the job, but workplace and construction site accidents can and do happen. Construction and employment-related injuries can include injury resulting from construction companies, businesses, and government agencies who neglected regulations and codes; injury from neglect of worker safety by a property owner, subcontractor, or contractor involved with your construction site; motor vehicle accidents in a company car or vehicle; and job site injury caused by a defective product. We represent job site accident victims, including drivers, passengers, employees, union workers, and consultants, who are injured as a result of a company’s or individual’s carelessness or recklessness.
Workplace injuries can occur in many ways, including exposure to asbestos, falls from construction sites, crane accidents, electrical accidents, refinery explosions, scissor-lift accidents, equipment accidents, trench collapses, and machinery malfunctions.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that one out of every ten construction workers is accidentally injured every year, and 11,200 of those accidents result in disability. It is not surprising, then, that workplace accidents are a leading cause of death in the United States.
Handling each job site accident as a special and unique case, Feldman Shepherd lawyers have obtained substantial verdicts and settlements in construction and workplace litigation, in state and federal courts. We have also successfully pursued claims against companies whose failure to maintain safe and operable work environments contributed to serious accidents.
Our experienced attorneys can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled.

In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing.
Our attorneys can help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. Insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
