One of the factors that makes construction work such a dangerous occupation is the prevalence of large and powerful equipment, complex machines and a wide assortment of potentially deadly tools. Any number of things can happen—a tool may malfunction or break down, or may not be properly designed to stand up on a construction project. The product may have substandard materials or may not have been properly tested before being put on the market.

We handle all types of injury claims involving the malfunction, breakdown or unsuitability of tools, equipment or machines on a construction project. That includes cases involving negligent design, careless construction or improper marketing of a device, tool or piece of machinery.

Because many tools, machines and pieces of construction equipment are manufactured by unrelated third parties, such a claim often allows you to seek damages in a civil suit, in addition to or instead of through a workers’ compensation claim. Let us help you determine the full scope of your rights.
