Construction Accidents

Effective North Carolina Construction Accident Lawyers

Construction sites are inherently dangerous places. Many people know that injured workers can receive workers' compensation, if they are injured on the job. However, most people do not know that they can also pursue third party compensation if the injuries resulted from the negligence of a contractor or sub-contractor that is not their employer. At Smyth & Cioffi, LLP, in Raleigh, North Carolina, we have extensive experience representing construction workers, visitors, and pedestrians seriously injured in construction accidents.

Contractors are required by law to ensure the safety of workers as well as people passing by a construction site. Construction involves a lot of heavy equipment, hazardous tools, and towering heights. When adequate safety measures are not in place, the results can be catastrophic. Back injuries, scaffolding falls, head injuries, severe burns, and broken bones are not uncommon at construction sites. Some of the leading causes of serious construction site accidents include:

  • Scaffolding collapse
  • Falls from ladders, scaffolding, and cranes
  • Defective equipment
  • Excavations and collapses
  • Construction crane accidents
  • Falling debris
  • Electrocution
  • Chemical leaks
  • Gas explosions
  • Welding accidents
  • Burns and chemical burns

At Smyth & Cioffi, LLP, we are committed to handling third party construction site injury claims, as well as claims brought by people seriously injured as a result of an unsecured construction site. We offer a free initial consultation and handle all construction site accident cases on a contingency basis. However, in order to provide the highest level of personal service and quality legal representation, we must be selective in the cases we accept. When we accept a case involving a construction site injury, our attorneys understand how to effectively examine evidence, build a case, and present it to a jury. Our objective is to provide our clients the resources required to recover from their injuries and move forward with their lives.
