Construction/Highway Defects
If you or a member of your family have suffered a serious or catastrophic injury while on the job, an experienced construction accident attorney from our firm can help you understand your rights. There are numerous city ordinances, state regulations and statutes, and federal industry standards which will affect your ability to fully recover for your injuries. For example, while experiencing an on-the-job accident, your financial recovery may be substantially affected by state Worker's Compensation laws. You will need an attorney experienced in this area to provide you with adequate counsel.
If the accident was due to the negligence of a third-party contractor, engineer, architect or manufacturer, there may be grounds for recovery outside the Worker's Compensation laws. This recovery may more fully compensate you for your serious injuries.
The law firm of Dougherty & Holloway, LLC has obtained significant recoveries for victims of negligence relating to job construction injuries such as:
- Roofing accidents
- Work vehicle accidents
- Forklift and machinery accidents
- Highway work zone injuries
- Unsafe equipment
- Falling objects
- Co-employee liability
- Construction work product liability
- Falls from elevations
- Falls from dangerous materials within the workplace
Every workplace accident should be investigated for potential compensation outside of the Worker's Compensation system. These third-party claims will assist the injured worker in obtaining full compensation.
If you or a family member have been involved in a construction or worksite accident, please contact our attorneys immediately to discuss all of your legal rights.
"Right after I suffered a head injury in a fall at one of the local casinos, I hired a lawyer that a friend referred me to because I thought one lawyer was as good as another. Soon I learned otherwise. It wasn't until the neuropsychologist I was seeing referred me to Ed Dougherty that I learned the importance of years of experience and expertise in a lawyer handling this kind of case. Since the settlement of my case by Mr. Dougherty, I have referred and continue to refer all other accident victims that I can to Ed Dougherty because I know he will handle their case with experience and expertise, and will treat them right, just as he did for me."
