Construction & Work Site Accidents
Attorneys in Kansas City, Missouri

Construction sites can be very dangerous places, in spite of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and any workplace practices put in place by employers. If you or a loved one has been injured in a worksite accident that was caused by a third party such as a subcontractor, or that involved a defective product, you should consult with a Kansas City construction accident lawyer to learn whether you have a claim for recovery beyond workers’ compensation.

Our attorneys will sit down with you to discuss the events surrounding the accident. We will investigate what happened and how it happened and look for all possible negligent parties to hold you accountable for your injuries.

By filing a third-party claim, you may be able to obtain full and fair compensation for your injuries.
