Whether the work is performed on a private project, a public project, a highway, or a large commercial job site, construction workers are constantly exposed to dangerous working conditions which can result in extremely serious injuries, or even death.

Washington's construction workers are injured each year in work related accidents resulting from:
- Heavy equipment and machinery
- Unsafe equipment
- Excavation and trench operations
- Confined space entry
- Electrocution
- Falls
- Exposure to chemicals
- Demolition
- Lack of safety devices
General contractors and owners have an obligation to keep the construction work site safe. The law requires general contractors and owners to ensure a reasonably safe site. Regulations require the general contractor and owner to implement safety programs, conduct inspections, warn of hazards and enforce the use of protective equipment for everyone on the job, including a subcontractor's employees.
If an accident occurs, often times a worker will be able to bring a claim against the general contractor or owner in addition to receiving worker's compensation benefits. It is important to consult a firm with expertise in this area of construction accident liability. We have the experience and expertise in construction site accidents to get you the settlement or verdict that you and your family deserve.
