Attorneys for Construction Accident Victims in Southwest Washington, Vancouver, and Portland
The state of Washington has some of our nation's best and strongest laws covering the responsibilities of contractors and land owners to maintain safe workplaces and premises - and our attorneys have experience in obtaining civil remedies for people injured when those laws are violated. Although Washington workers cannot sue their employers or co-workers for unintentional injuries that happen on the job (these are covered under the worker's compensation system), it may be possible to pursue an action against a "third party", someone other than your employer or coworker who may be responsible.
If you have suffered injuries due to a landowner, contractor, or product manufacturer's decision to "cut corners" on safety — or if you have tragically lost a family member in a serious construction accident you believe may have been avoidable — please contact us today to discuss your potential case.
Advocating for You After Falls, Explosions and Equipment-Related Injuries
Most people who work in construction are aware that their occupation has many dangers, and take what precautions they can to keep a risky workplace as safe as possible. Despite these efforts, factors beyond workers’ control can cause injury, including:
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding and other heights — or through holes that may be inadequately posted and barricaded
- Fires and explosions
- Industrial equipment malfunctions due to lack of maintenance or inadequate operator training
- Mishandling of dangerous products
- Impact from falling debris
Tragically, accidents like these often have serious and devastating consequences. In careers spanning decades, our firm's senior attorneys have handled various types of injury cases, including the most grave construction site and other workplace injuries — from debilitating head and spinal injuries to severe burns and limb loss. We have also handled wrongful death actions on behalf of surviving family members after fatal construction accidents.
