Boston Construction Accidents

Construction site accidents are common industrial accidents. Typically, such accidents involve serious injury, due to the nature of the work duties, the heavy equipment and the hazardous job sites. There are generally two avenues to seek recovery for construction site injuries. First, if the injured person is a worker on the site, the Massachusetts workers' compensation laws govern the recovery against one's own employer. This usually involves payment of medical expenses, lost wage replacement and some specific compensation for permanent injuries and scarring. The employer enjoys immunity from lawsuits from its employees if the employer participates in the workers' compensation program.

Second, and often overlooked, is the potential recovery from other persons and business entities on the job site, such as subcontractors, general contractors, architects and property owners. This recovery is in addition to and separate from the very limited workers' compensation benefits and often offers the employee the chance to be fully compensated for his or her injury. The injured party in this situation seeks to hold these parties other than their employer liable for their failure to keep a construction site safe, or their liability for the injuries sustained by the employee. Given that most parties on a job site are required to be well-insured against accident claims arising from a construction site injury, there is a better chance of the injured worker being adequately compensated for his or her injury.

Boston Stairway Accidents

Stairway accidents can sometimes be the most devastating of injuries. Oftentimes, stairway accident injuries can take the form of severely broken legs, ankles and wrists. The cause of these types of accidents can be a poorly maintained stairway, stairways in disrepair, or improperly built stairways. A stairway or railing (or lack thereof) may not conform to municipal building codes which can help prove a claim against the stairway owner. We represent victims whether the stairway is outside, in a common building hallway or within a residence or office. It is critical to obtain photographs of the stairway and contact the appropriate municipal authorities to determine if code violations are present as soon as possible after the injury or accident.
