Construction Injuries and Accidents
Missouri Construction Injuries
In Missouri, and across the United States, the construction industry has one of the highest accident rates of any business. At The Hershewe Law Firm, P.C., our Missouri construction law attorneys defend clients in the event of construction injuries resulting from negligence, equipment defects, and other worksite-related causes.
The construction injury lawyers in our Joplin, Missouri office have the knowledge and resources to investigate construction and other workplace accidents to determine whether there has been a failure to follow safety measures, warn workers of hazards, properly maintain equipment, or other circumstances that have lead to a construction injury.
Our construction injury attorneys will investigate all potentially-liable parties, including employers, construction companies, property owners, equipment manufacturers, subcontractors and others, in order to obtain full recovery for our construction-injured client.
Across Missouri, construction workers may become injured by falling from roofs or scaffolding, being hit by moving equipment or falling materials, or suffering injury or death from equipment malfunctions, electrocution, fire, explosions and many other accidents. If you’ve received an injury while working on a construction site or other worksite, contact our construction injury law team for an initial evaluation of your case.
Some recent cases successfully tried by The Hershewe Law Firm include:
- A $20.9 million verdict for a young man who was injured on the job while installing skylights. He was not provided with a safety harness and fell three stories, through a skylight. Our client’s construction injuries left him in a persistent vegetative state.
- A $4 million verdict for a construction worker who was helping his employer move scaffolding which came in contact with a high voltage overhead power line.
