OSHA reports that the construction industry has one of the highest accident rates in the United States, with often devastating consequences. A construction site can be a dangerous place, workers can fall from roofs or scaffolding, be hit by moving equipment or falling materials, or suffer injury or death from equipment malfunctions, electrocution, fire, explosions and many other accidents.
At The Hershewe Law Firm, P.C. in Joplin, Missouri, our attorneys have the knowledge and resources to investigate construction and other workplace accidents to find out whether there was a failure to follow safety measures, failure to warn workers of hazards, failure to properly maintain equipment, and other circumstances that may have contributed to the injury. We will investigate all potentially liable parties, including employers, construction companies, property owners, equipment manufacturers, sub-contractors and others, in order to obtain a full recovery for our client.
Some recent successful results include:
- A $20.9 Million verdict for a young man who was injured on the job while installing skylights. He was not provided with the safety harness and fell three stories, through a skylight, leaving 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.
