Massachusetts Construction Accident Attorneys

A heavy equipment operator is crushed by falling debris. A roofer brushes against a live power line and is electrocuted. A window installer falls from an unstable ladder. A highway worker is struck by a passing driver confused by the construction signage. What is the common thread? Failure of employers or others to provide for the safety of those on site and comply with the law is a common factor in these accidents. These accident victims need aggressive injury lawyers fighting with them.

Hurt on a Construction Job Site? Protect Your Rights! Call Percy Law Group, P.C.

Construction sites are, by definition, hazardous places to work. The insurance companies know this, and they don't like it. Employers and workers' compensation insurance companies protect themselves with fleets of experienced defense lawyers. When an injured construction worker files a claim, you can count on the insurance company and lawyers they employ to carefully evaluate construction site accident scenes in an effort to undermine your case and minimize the benefits you are entitled to. If you have been injured in a construction accident, you need the experienced legal team at Percy Law Group, PC, to begin protecting you and your claim starting immediately after the accident. Our workers' compensation law team knows what to look for in construction accident cases. We know how to develop a compelling case for you using medical testimony.

We are committed to obtaining the maximum benefits available from workers' compensation policies for construction workers who have been injured in serious accidents involving:

• Falling debris
• Hazardous material
• Crane accidents
• Scaffolding accidents
• Fires and explosions
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Heavy equipment accidents
• Electrocution / electric shock
• Loading and unloading accidents

In construction accidents, it is quite common for third parties to have caused or contributed to accidents. If any third party is partially or fully responsible for your workplace injury, you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim in addition to a workers' compensation claim. At our firm, we also provide representation to families who lost loved ones in fatal accidents.

Holding Employers Accountable for Safety

The employer owes a safe work environment to its workers and is obligated to take reasonable measures to ensure safety. We seek compensation for victims of construction site accidents relating to negligent or reckless actions and orders, unqualified equipment operators, OSHA violations and other employer liability. We also represent the general public when they are injured in construction zones, such as slip-and-falls and public scaffolding insurance liability claims.

These injuries are frequently severe, resulting in:

• Crushed or amputated limbs
• Paralysis and spinal cord injuries
• Burns
• Vision loss or hearing damage
• Back, face and neck injuries
• Loss of mobility
• Other permanent disability
