Construction is one of the largest industries in Arizona and working at a construction site is often a hazardous occupation. In Arizona, the construction industry is heavily regulated by federal and state OSHA regulations and case decisions. Claims for construction accidents are often brought against multiple companies and subcontractors to ensure the victims recover full compensation for their losses.
Alex & Gaxiola represents victims of construction accidents, including the following areas:
Scaffolding accidents
Ladder accidents
Electrocution, electrical hazards
Construction site falls
Dangerous and defective machines
Forklift and crane accidents
Falling construction materials
Nail gun accidents
Pedestrian injuries
Hazardous gases and materials
Welding, cutting, and brazing accidents
Excavation cave-ins
Exposure to toxic gases, lead, or asbestos
WINNING CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS CLAIMS
It is important to obtain attorney representation as soon as possible after construction accidents. Evidence crucial to a case often disappears from the construction site. Witnesses disappear or become reluctant to speak-up or become involved. For these reasons, among others, it is important that your attorneys take steps to preserve evidence and interview witnesses while the event is fresh. In some instances, it is possible to get OSHA investigators involved immediately who help to preserve the critical evidence.
The truth of the matter is that very few serious construction accidents settle without filing a lawsuit and conducting discovery. Alex & Gaxiola has the experience and know-how to bring together a team of experts, including construction experts, safety experts, OSHA experts, physicians, vocational rehabilitation specialists and economists. It is only after the insurance company is certain that your case is well-prepared for trial that they are motivated to settle.
SCAFFOLDING ACCIDENTS AND
INJURIES
FROM
FALLS
Scaffolding accidents and falls from heights are common causes of serious injuries on construction sites. OSHA regulations, industry custom and practices and Arizona Case Law establish safety standards for erecting, inspecting and maintaining scaffolds. These regulations also provide standards for protection against falls for workers who are working at certain heights. Alex & Gaxiola has 26 years of construction expertise and is current on safety standards and Arizona's construction laws.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
AND THIRD PARTY CLAIMS
If you are injured in a construction accident, you are probably entitled to workers compensation benefits. Additionally, you may have a claim against a third-party for example, the general contractor, property owner, subcontractor, or equipment manufacturer that is at fault for your injuries. Your attorney should explain your options under workers' compensation and third-party claims.
When you are seriously injured in a construction accident, your attorney should assist you in exploring and determining the best method for obtaining payment of medical expenses (past and future), recovery of lost wages as well as compensation for pain and suffering (past and future)—and for permanent injuries, disfigurement and loss of life's enjoyment.
