Construction Accidents Are Serious — You Deserve Legal Protection

Construction sites are some of the most dangerous places to work. Heavy machinery, scaffolding, power tools, and constant movement all pose serious injury risks. When safety standards are ignored or equipment fails, lives can be changed in an instant.

At Kobes Legal PLLC, we stand up for injured construction workers, subcontractors, and passersby. Whether you fell from a height, were struck by falling debris, or suffered from unsafe site conditions, we’ll fight to hold the responsible parties accountable.

WHAT IS A CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCIDENT?

Construction site accidents can happen in a split second and often involve multiple parties. These injuries are typically the result of negligence, lack of safety training, defective equipment, or violations of OSHA regulations.

Falls from Heights

Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops are a leading cause of fatal construction injuries. Employers must provide fall protection and safe access at all times.

 Falling Objects or Debris

Materials dropped from cranes, rooftops, or higher levels can strike workers or pedestrians, leading to traumatic brain injuries and other serious harm.

Electrical Accidents

Exposed wires, faulty wiring, and contact with power lines are common hazards on job sites — especially when safety protocols are ignored.

Trench or Structure Collapse

Improper shoring or site planning can lead to trench cave-ins or collapsing walls, often causing catastrophic or fatal injuries.

Defective Machinery or Tools

Poorly maintained equipment or tools with design flaws can malfunction during use, injuring workers and nearby individuals.

Lack of Training or Supervision

Inadequate safety training or careless site management puts everyone at risk. Employers are required to provide proper instructions and monitoring on every job site.

WHEN CAN YOU FILE A CLAIM?

You may be eligible to file a construction injury claim if:

  • You were injured due to someone else’s negligence (contractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, etc.);

  • You’re a subcontractor, delivery worker, or third-party (not a direct employee under workers’ comp exclusivity);

  • The injury caused medical bills, time off work, or permanent impairment; and

  • The site violated OSHA or state safety standards.

We help identify every liable party and the best legal path — whether that’s a third-party injury claim, product liability case, or wrongful death action.
