Workplace Accident Attorneys

Falling objects killed eight construction workers and injured thousands more in 2010, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The threat is particularly troubling because there is virtually nothing a worker can do to avoid being a victim in such accidents.

Even relatively light objects such as a tape measure can cause serious harm when dropped from considerable height. When heavier objects like bricks, two-by-fours and tools fall, they can easily cause permanent injuries or death.

Your Legal Rights After A Falling Object Work Injury

If a falling object has injured you at work, your legal recourse depends on the unique circumstances of your case. Generally, an injured employee’s only right to compensation is through workers’ compensation. However, this general rule doesn’t hold true when a party other than the victim’s employer caused or contributed to the accident.

Contractors, equipment manufacturers and property owners may be held liable for construction accident injuries and deaths, depending on the situation. This is why it’s crucial for an injured worker to consult an experienced Detroit construction accident attorney after an accident.

When you’re ready, email us or call 313-524-8570 for your free consultation. We understand that your falling object injuries have probably left you in intense pain, but don’t wait too long to call. Michigan has strict time limits for bringing personal injury claims.
