Construction workers are routinely injured in accidents due to dangerous conditions employees in this line of work must face.

These accidents can result in serious injury, long or short-term disability, permanent work loss and even death. Florida law imposes a number of codes and regulations upon construction companies and contractors in order to prevent workers from being injured. In many cases, companies ignore these codes and rules, which results in a construction accident.

Employees involved in construction accidents do have the right to file a worker’s compensation suit against their employer, but there are additional avenues for recovery that can be taken, such as third party claims against other responsible parties including architects, equipment manufacturers, scaffolding companies, etc.

Employees are not the only individuals that are at risk of construction accidents. Bystanders may also be seriously injured on a construction site, and entitled to a claim against the responsible party.

Whether you or a loved one suffers a back or neck injury, fractured bones, scarring, amputation, paralysis or even death, construction accidents frequently are life-altering occurrences. Vaka, Larson and Johnson, P.L. is experienced in investigating and prosecuting these complex claims.
