Construction sites are inherently dangerous, and failures to follow appropriate safety practices can result in catastrophic or life-changing injuries. Peck Baxter represents construction workers, contractors, visitors, and others injured in construction-site accidents, helping them pursue compensation from the individuals and companies responsible for unsafe conditions.

Our attorneys handle claims involving falls from heights, scaffolding and ladder accidents, heavy equipment and machinery, falling objects, electrical injuries, trench and excavation accidents, structural failures, vehicle accidents, and other construction-site hazards. We investigate the circumstances surrounding an accident, applicable safety requirements, contractual relationships among project participants, and the roles of owners, general contractors, subcontractors, equipment providers, and other potentially responsible parties.

Construction accidents can involve overlapping workers’ compensation benefits, third-party liability claims, insurance coverage, and complex questions of responsibility. Drawing on experience with construction, real estate development, and litigation, Peck Baxter works to identify every available source of recovery and pursue full and fair compensation for our clients’ injuries and losses.
