Involved in a Construction Site Accident?


Have you or a loved one been involved in a construction site accident?  The CDC reports on statistics from the NIOSH Construction Program that states, “In 2010, there were 774 fatal on-the-job injuries to workers in the construction industry – more than in any other industry sector and represent 17% of all work-related deaths in the U.S. that year.”  In addition to accidental construction related deaths, there are thousands of workers injured each year. 
The attorneys at Schiff & Associates have decades of experience helping clients to get the compensation they deserve in the event of an injury or loss of life.  While we recognize that construction sites are dangerous places and that accidents do happen, there are many cases of workers injured on the job as the result of negligence.
An injury may have occurred as a result of not strictly following required OSHA regulations or caused by insufficiently trained workers as well as a result of equipment improperly maintained.  Statistics show that workers between 25 and 34 are most likely to be involved in construction site accidents and common injuries involve the back, spine and trunk. 
Construction site injuries often result in lost wages, medical care, and pain and suffering.  While workers’ compensation takes care of many of the costs associated with construction site accidents and injuries, you may be eligible for additional compensation benefits to cover all of your expenses.  Schiff & Associates has the expertise to determine if a third party such as a product manufacturer, property owner, subcontractor, or vehicle driver is liable for your accident, and if so, we will file a claim on your behalf.
In addition to the initial free consultation, our personal injury lawyers will represent you on a contingency basis.  This means that you will have no attorney costs or fees unless we successfully recover compensation.  Contact us today to see if we can help.
The experienced attorneys at Schiff & Associates have offered the area trusted legal representation in cases of personal injury and wrongful death since 1982.  We have a history of getting clients the results they deserve and recognize that financial recovery from an accident is just as important as physical recovery.  Call today for information regarding legal services from the best personal injury lawyer Columbus Ohio has to offer.
