Construction Accidents

Injuries and property damage caused by accidents on construction projects create complex factual scenarios involving layers of potentially at fault parties and layers of risk shifting contractual arrangements, workers’ compensation issues and often serious losses. Our lawyers have been defending developers, owners, general contractors and subcontractors in these claims for years. We understand the complex statutes that govern time limitations and risk shifting and indemnity contracts. We know how construction projects work and can quickly identify the issues involved. We have worked with clients to resolve state and federal OSHA claims and create contracts that help protect them in the event of a loss. Our lawyers have extensive experience the workers’ compensation related issues which invariably arise, including employees of uninsured subcontractors, waive and walk, Naig issues, contractual indemnification, common enterprise issues and “Lambertson” contribution issues and can help steer the case through these mazes.
