Construction Accidents

Phoenix, Arizona, Construction Accident Lawyer

Construction is one of the largest industries in Arizona and working at a construction site is often a dangerous occupation. In Arizona, the construction industry is heavily regulated and claims often are brought against multiple companies and subcontractors to ensure the victims recover full compensation for their losses.

Under OSHA regulations, if a construction worker is exposed to a danger of falling from a height of 7.5 feet or greater, guardrails need to be constructed or the worker must be provided with fall protection in the form of a full body harness and lanyard.

Such accidents also require extensive knowledge of workers’ compensation practice as many construction injuries arise out of the scope of employment. At the Phoenix personal injury firm of Alex & Gaxiola, our attorneys have extensive experience representing construction accident victims in these complex cases. If you or a member of your family has been injured in a construction accident and you would like to speak with a member of our firm, please contact our office and arrange a free consultation. It is important to hire a well-qualified lawyer as soon as possible. As your counsel, we will visit the accident site, preserve evidence, and interview witnesses while their memories are still fresh.

If you are injured in a construction accident, you are probably entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Additionally, you may have a claim against a contractor, subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer that is at fault for your injuries. You may be entitled to recover all of your medical bills and lost wages, as well as compensation for past and future pain and suffering—and for permanent injuries, scarring, and disfigurement.
