Construction Accidents

The Bettendorf construction accidents lawyers at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. understand the construction industry. Construction accidents happen despite the efforts of safety regulations that are in place to keep workers and bystanders safe around construction zones. The nature of the work is the primary reason why construction accidents occur so often. It is not terribly uncommon for an employee to suffer injuries from falling, being struck by machinery, or exposure to hazardous materials, among other things.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is the federal organization tasked with implementing programs and regulations to ensure the safety of the workplace. On a local level, however, the construction contractor is responsible for maintaining a safe environment for his or her employees on a day-to-day basis. If an accident occurs, there may be a chain of liability that needs to be investigated to determine who is responsible for your injuries.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else's fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation.
