Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in Florida. Workers and bystanders face serious risks from falling objects, heavy machinery, and unsafe conditions. When accidents happen due to someone else’s negligence, victims may suffer life-altering injuries, lost wages, and overwhelming medical bills.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident in Highlands County, a skilled personal injury attorney can help you seek financial compensation. Our law firm has extensive experience representing clients in construction accident cases, ensuring they get the legal representation they deserve.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents occur for many reasons, but some of the most common include:
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs
- Equipment failures and machinery accidents
- Electrical hazards and burns
- Falling objects and debris
- Unsafe worksite conditions
- Negligence by contractors or subcontractors
Accident victims often face long recoveries, high medical bills, and loss of future earning capacity. A dedicated construction accident lawyer can help hold the at-fault party accountable and pursue financial compensation.
Legal Options for Construction Accident Victims
Depending on the circumstances, injured workers and bystanders may have multiple legal options, including:
- Workers’ compensation – Employees injured on a construction site may be entitled to benefits covering medical bills and lost wages.
- Personal injury claims – If a third party, such as a negligent subcontractor or equipment manufacturer, caused the accident, a personal injury case may be pursued.
- Wrongful death claims – If a loved one has suffered fatal injuries in a construction accident, surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.
