Ohio Construction Worker Injury Attorneys
At any given moment on a construction site, workers face multiple dangers from defective equipment, heavy equipment and vehicles, careless subcontractors, and dangerous conditions that lead to falls from ladders and scaffolding. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in America. As many as 1 in 10 construction workers will lose time on the job due to injuries from accidents every year.
Beyond Ohio Workers' Compensation Benefits
The personal injury trial lawyers at Spangenberg Shibley & Liber have been recognized as aggressive fighters for justice on the side of injured construction workers for more than 65 years. We are not a workers' compensation law firm. We help construction workers and subcontractors obtain additional money damages from negligent third parties that may be held liable for their injuries. This can include contractors and subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, truck drivers and property owners. In cases of gross negligence on the part of your employer, you may be able to sue for additional damages under the rules of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC).
If you have suffered an injury in any type of accident while working on a construction site in Ohio, don't assume that the Ohio BWC benefits will be enough. In the majority of cases, your workers' comp benefits will not cover your full losses for your injuries or wrongful death claim. Talk to one of our Cleveland construction accident lawyers if you have been involved in any type of job site accident, including:
- A fall from a ladder, roof or scaffolding
- Wall, floor or roof collapse
- Burns from fires, explosions, chemical exposure
- Construction vehicle accidents
- Equipment defect
- Falling objects, dropped materials or equipment
- Electrical shock
Does Your Injury Claim Have Merit to Take to Court, if Necessary?
We are selective about the Ohio construction site injury cases we accept — so you can trust us with your serious workplace injury. These types of cases are complex and often difficult to prove. After an initial no-cost, confidential consultation to evaluate your construction accident case, we will give you an honest appraisal of whether we think you have a legitimate claim against a third party for damages.
If we accept your case, it is because our experience has taught us that your third-party claim has merit and will win in court, if the insurance company doesn't offer a full and fair settlement. We work aggressively and efficiently toward the resolution you and your family need. We are proud of the case results we have obtained on behalf of plaintiffs in all areas of personal injury litigation.
