  • Sprains and strains

How to Prove Negligence As the Cause of Your Accident

According to OSHA, violation of proper construction site standards is often the cause of the above-mentioned injuries. These standards are put in place for the protection of workers and pedestrians, so when they are violated they can have catastrophic results. If you believe your injury was caused as a result of negligence, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. 

Some common examples of negligence in construction include:

  • Failure to maintain proper fall protection
  • Failure to follow standards regarding scaffolding, ladders, machinery usage, and eye and face protection
  • Failure to maintain proper control of hazardous energy, as well as provide proper respiratory protection

    “I was impressed with Jim's guidance and support.”
    Jim has provided legal counsel for me in several situations. I felt well-represented in a very professional way. The most difficult one was when I broke my neck in a car wreck. The insurance of the responsible party did not want to pay anything close to the amount I felt they owed. Jim led me through the process. It was a difficult case, but we settled during negotiations. I was impressed with Jim's guidance and support, and I was very pleased with the settlement. He is a great attorney!
