Safety Violations/OSHA

OSHA Violations • Safety Violations • Third Party Contractors

Construction sites are dangerous. Workers know this better than anyone else. Every year hundreds of construction workers suffer injuries ranging from broken bones to injured backs to premature death.

A number of things contribute to construction accidents. Employer negligence is only one possible cause; negligence on the part of subcontractor work crews can also lead to worker injury. Faulty equipment or defective machinery can cause injuries, and defective building products may also be to blame.

OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, has established regulations to try to ensure worker safety on the job site. OSHA regulations cover construction sites as well as all other workplaces. Construction companies, as employers, who fail to comply with OSHA safety regulations can be held liable for injuries that occur as a result.

If you or a family member was injured on a construction site, tough questions must be asked. You need an experienced attorney to ask them; attorneys who understand how to investigate and prove the case for OSHA violations and safety hazards.

• We investigate the accident site for evidence of building code violations or OSHA violations.
• We investigate the causes of structural and material failures, bringing in materials experts, engineers and architects to determine the cause of excavation cave-ins, or collapses of walls, floors or roofs.
