Construction Accidents

Representing Injured Construction Workers

Employers have the responsibility to provide work environments that are safe and free of hazard for their employees. Unfortunately, the construction industry is dangerous by nature, and even when all safety precautions are observed there is the potential for construction workers to sustain serious injury or even wrongful death on the job. Not only do injured workers have to face the physical repercussions of their injuries, but they often face tremendous hardship due to medical bills, lost wages, and psychological suffering. The attorneys at the firms of Fitts Zehl, LLP and Mark & Associates, P.C. are dedicated to defending the rights of injured workers and pursuing justice until they recover the full compensation due to them.

To ensure that workers are as safe as possible, employers are required to conduct regular inspections of job sites and to provide proper safety equipment, including eye protection, helmets, gloves, and more. Furthermore, employers must ensure that all workers are properly trained on how to safely operate all equipment that may be used on the job site. If an employer is found to be negligent in any of these provisions, he or she may be held accountable for any injuries sustained on site.
