Construction Site Accidents

Seattle Construction Site Accident Lawyers

Litigating a construction site accident case can present unique challenges. The attorneys at The Walthew Law Firm in Seattle, Washington have the experience to meet those challenges head on. If you have been injured in a construction site accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation from more than your Workers' Compensation claim.

The employer usually cannot be sued by its employee who suffered an accident while working. Likewise, co-workers usually cannot be sued. There may be other potential defendants. At The Walthew Law Firm, our attorneys hold contractors, sub-contractors, or other third-party defendants accountable for their negligence.

We have handled construction site accident cases including those that involve defective products that are used on a daily basis. Poorly manufactured equipment used for construction can cause serious injury and even death. Rental companies who do not properly maintain their equipment may be held liable. Traumatic and fatal injuries have also resulted from incorrectly placed scaffolding and improper safety precautions.

With the complexity of construction site accident law and the general inability to sue the employer directly, many injured employees assume that they have no options for recovery. It is of vital importance to contact an attorney as soon as possible after your injury. You have options. You have rights.
