Construction Accident Attorney

A sheet metal worker attempted to walk out onto a catwalk high above the ground of a construction site. He didn't know that another contractor had removed the metal grates that made up the surface of the catwalk. He fell through the hole and was seriously injured.

By their very nature, construction sites are dangerous workplaces. Heavy equipment, dangerous power tools, noise, and multiple sub contractors working together in close quarters all contribute to the risks. Strict rules exist to protect workers. Unfortunately, people still get hurt—often seriously.
