Ohio Construction Site Injury Attorney
Any construction site or industrial setting can present dangers to workers. With different contractors and sub-contractors on site, there may be a number of different tasks taking place. Unfortunately, in the midst of all the action, safety measures may be forgotten, errors may be made and workers can suffer serious injuries. Sometimes, in order to meet deadlines, employers do not require their employees to use proper safety devices.
If you have been injured in a construction accident, or if someone you care about has become a victim of wrongful death, contact the lawyers at the law offices of Friedman, Domiano & Smith. You can depend on us to help you achieve the best possible results by filing workers' compensation claims and personal injury lawsuits in Ohio courts.
Types of Construction Accidents
There are many different ways that people can get hurt on a construction site. No matter what led to your construction accident, we can help:
- Forklift accidents
- Exposure to hazardous chemicals
- Electrocutions and electrical shock
- Explosions
- Working in violation of medical restrictions
- Errors in truck loading
- Falls from roofs and scaffolding
- Air quality issues
Workers injured in construction accidents in Ohio are entitled to workers' compensation to cover their lost income during periods of disability, as well as the costs of medical treatment. At Friedman, Domiano & Smith, our attorneys help workers throughout Ohio file workers' compensation claims to receive this compensation.
Our main objective in every case is to maximize the value of your total compensation. To maximize these results, we look for other valid legal claims against additional defendants, such as subcontractors or vendors. In most cases, injured employees are barred from suing their employer. However, if your employer committed an act with the intent to injure you, or if they took action that was "substantially certain" to cause injury. If you were injured by industrial machinery, and your employer removed safety guards, you may have a claim against your employer.
