Construction sites are inherently dangerous environments, often leading to serious injuries or fatalities for workers. Without the proper policies, procedures, and precautions, workers often suffer from catastrophic injuries or death. Construction accidents can result from various factors such as falls from heights, equipment malfunctions, electrocutions, fires, forklift accidents, falling equipment, and more.
What makes construction accidents particularly difficult is that there are often multiple entities, contractors, and subcontractors involved on construction projects, and narrowing down the at-fault parties can require expert investigations and knowledge. Further, Georgia law has a workers’ compensation exception to making claims for personal injury against a person’s employer. When someone is injured on the job, workers’ compensation is often the exclusive remedy for the injured worker. However, an experienced personal injury attorney who is knowledgeable about Georgia law will know how to navigate these complicated issues to find all of the available legal remedies for pursuing a case.
If you’ve been injured in a construction accident, it’s vital to know your rights and seek legal representation immediately. At the Davis Injury Firm, we have successfully handled construction site cases and are familiar with the legal and factual complexities that are involved in these types of cases. Some examples of cases we handled include a case where a pipe fell from a construction site onto our client’s head and caused a traumatic brain injury, a case where a construction material fell on our client and caused a traumatic brain injury, and a case where uncontrolled sediment from a construction site caused our client to fall and break a wrist. Each of these cases involved multiple corporate defendants, complicated building and construction code regulations, and difficult legal issues. But, time and time again, we have overcome such challenges in order to maximize results for our injured clients.
Our team has a deep understanding of Georgia’s personal injury laws and will fight tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Whether you need assistance filing a claim or pursuing a personal injury lawsuit, we are here to provide compassionate support and aggressive representation every step of the way.
