Working at a construction site is a dangerous job. Every year thousands of construction workers are injured as a result of unsafe working conditions, inadequate safety inspections, violations of Federal and/or State safety standards, or even someone else's negligence.

Although an injured worker may be collecting worker's compensation benefits, the law permits an injured worker to bring a claim against the owner, general contractor and even other subcontractors present at the work site.

Liability arising from accidents at construction sites can take many forms. If you were injured as a result of falling from a ladder or scaffolding, being struck by falling construction materials or debris, falling through an uncovered floor opening, being struck by equipment or machinery, tripping over debris, or any other unsafe condition at the worksite, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain, suffering and economic loss.

Railroad Accidents

Only a law firm knowledgeable in the workings of the railroad industry, their contracts, medical and pension benefits, and one willing to invest the necessary time and money, can adequately represent a railroad employee.

Many railroad workers have been led to believe that when a worker is hurt on the job he is entitled only to “compensation.” Most railroad Claim Agents usually tell the injured worker that “compensation” is only a percentage of the time or wages lost. This is not true. The idea that an injured railroad worker is entitled only to wages lost is not only false, but proves costly to the worker and his family. The fact of the matter is that railroad employees injured through the fault of the carriers are entitled under the law to receive much more than their lost time or wages, if they only knew it.

As a railroad employee, you are afforded many protections of which you may be unaware. Direct, underrepresented negotiations with the railroad’s claim department is very risky. The earlier you contact us, the earlier your job is protected, the earlier your case is investigated, and if necessary, the earlier a lawsuit is initiated. The same law that gives you the right to sue your employer also protects you from any harassment, discipline or discrimination because you hire an attorney to properly prosecute your case.
