Greater Boston Personal Injury Law - Construction Accidents

If you have been injured in an accident at a construction site, you need the advice and representation of an experienced attorney whose thorough understanding of the applicable law is matched by an ability to present your claims for damages in the most effective and persuasive way possible. To learn more about your rights to compensation in a construction accident case, contact an experienced attorney at the Massachusetts law firm of Kenney & Conley in Braintree for a free consultation.

The law of construction accidents can cut across a wide range of personal injury specialties, and it takes a knowledgeable lawyer to maximize the value of your claim while you concentrate on your physical recovery. Because your damages will be limited to workers' compensation benefits unless a party other than your employer can be held liable, our attorneys perform a thorough investigation of the circumstances of the accident in order to identify and hold accountable a defendant responsible for your personal injury damages.

In some cases, that defendant will be the owner of the property where the accident occurred, and our attorneys' thorough familiarity with premises liability law will be important in establishing the owner's liability for your construction site injuries. In other cases, the manufacturer of defective equipment or safety gear can be held to account for your injuries, and our lawyers' experience with product liability law will help ensure that you receive full compensation. Where your accident was the result of another subcontractor's negligence, our understanding of contract law will help avoid the possibility that your damages will be limited to worker's compensation.

In every construction accident case, our familiarity with the law relating to the proof of your damages will be especially important, particularly when your injuries are difficult to diagnose or treat. Our attorneys work closely with medical professionals and rehabilitation therapists to make sure that nothing is left to guesswork in documenting construction accident injuries such as the following:

• Head and brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Injuries to joints such as the shoulder, knee, or wrist
• Neck and back injuries
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

In the most severe construction accidents, where permanent disability is likely to result from traumatic brain injury or spinal cord damage, our work with life care planning experts will avoid the risk that a large settlement offer will prove inadequate to cover the long-term costs of your physical therapy or assisted living care. In explosion or electrocution accidents resulting in extensive burn injuries, we take special care to develop and document the expenses involved over a period of recovery that might take many years.
