How Can A Construction Accident Lawyer Protect Your Rights?
Construction accident claims are often complex due to liability issues and workers’ compensation laws. For example, worker’s compensation is strictly limited to covering your medical expenses and lost income.

Our expertise in complex liability issues has successfully recovered pain and suffering damages, loss of enjoyment of life damages, permanent disability, and more. Each construction site accident is unique. Consult with one of our construction accident attorneys in Boston to determine if your accident qualifies for full compensation.

A third party could be found negligent if;
- A subcontractor supplied substandard materials for scaffolds and other structures

- A company sells defective safety equipment
- A manufacturer’s shut-off valve is poorly designed or faulty
