A report from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)  says that 1 in 5 deaths among U.S. workers is in the construction industry.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are over 77,000 construction accidents a year. With heavy machinery, moving parts and elevated heights, it’s no wonder construction work is dangerous. If you’ve been hurt on a construction site, your injuries can prevent you from working for a long time, possibly leading to lost wages, medical expenses and pain and suffering.

We recognize the importance of obtaining the appropriate outcome for our clients, and we will work tirelessly to guarantee that they get all of their deserved compensation. For example, we recovered  $1.875 million for the family of a man killed in a work site accident and  $475,000 for a man who was struck by a car while on the job, causing him to lose his leg. Read more about these cases.

Representing those injured in construction accidents in both workers’ compensation claims and personal injury claims, our goal is maximizing your compensation. Many times, an injured construction worker will be able to bring a personal injury suit, known as a third-party claim, against someone other than his or her employer. For example, if a subcontractor was responsible for your injuries, you may have the right to sue this company for all of your lost wages, as well as damages for your pain and suffering.

At Foglia & Associates, we have successfully brought many third-party claims on behalf of injured workers.
