The Bureau of Labor says that 5,703 construction workers were killed in 2006 in construction accidents, while many others sustained serious injuries. Construction work is dangerous work. Workers are constantly dealing with heavy equipment and hazardous substances, while placing themselves in potentially dangerous situations in order to construct a new building or residence.

Construction Accident Injuries
Construction accidents, including excavation accidents, electrical shock accidents, scaffolding fall accidents, crane collapse accidents, welding accidents, fires, motor vehicle accidents, construction machinery accidents, exposure to hazardous substances, on-site explosions, and accidents involving falling or swinging objects or defective construction tools, are by their nature catastrophic and will usually result in serious injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, massive internal injuries, severed limbs, disfigurement, and permanent physical, emotional, and psychological damage.

Many injured construction workers are no longer able to work because of their permanently debilitating injuries. Recovery costs, long-term care, and loss of financial support can take a toll on the injured worker and his or her family.

Our Boston, Massachusetts construction accident attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case and explore all avenues of financial recovery. We will work with the industry’s top construction accident experts to determine whether any other parties aside from your employer can be held liable for your injury accident.

Our Massachusetts construction accident law firm is familiar with the safety regulations mandated by the state and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We can find out whether these rules were violated and by whom.

Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation
Although Massachusetts law guarantees construction workers compensation benefits if they are injured on the job, it is important that you hire a Boston, Massachusetts workers’ compensation attorney to protect your rights. Altman & Altman LLP can make sure you receive all the benefits that you are owed (including back benefits) and that you are paid on time.

We can also work with your employer or the insurance company to make sure that you receive the best medical care possible. In the event that your Massachusetts employer or the insurer tries to cut off your benefits, we can take the legal steps to prevent this from happening.

In the event that another party that is not your employer, such as the building architect, engineer, or the manufacturer of a defective product, is found responsible for your construction accident, one of our Massachusetts personal injury lawyers can help you file a construction accident claim against the liable parties. If you were injured at a Massachusetts construction site and you are not a construction worker, we can help you file a personal injury claim against the construction company or any other negligent parties.

The statute of limitations in Massachusetts for filing a personal injury lawsuit is three years from the date of the injury. It is important that your Boston construction accident lawyer begin investigating your case while evidence is still preserved and witnesses’ memories are fresh. If someone you love has died in a Massachusetts construction accident, one of our Boston wrongful death lawyers can assist you. You will not pay us any fees until we recover your compensation.
