It is important to discuss your options with a lawyer regarding any case where you are injured as a result of an accident on a construction site.

Many times, construction accidents happen while someone is working for a subcontractor while employed. Most of the time, the worker will be covered by workers compensation provided by their employer and are not allowed to bring a negligence action against their employer.

However, a case can be brought to recover loss of earnings/earning potential, pain and suffering, or medical bills directly against a general contractor and/or subcontractors who are negligent.

Attorney Shaw can handle an injury related to following construction accidents: falls from scaffolds, explosions, unsafe working conditions, fires, crane accidents, defective or unsafe equipment, chemical leaks, electrical accidents, falling debris or material or careless behavior at the work site.

On a daily basis, North Dakota construction workers are exposed to dangerous working conditions. Because of this, construction accidents occur frequently, and personal injury results.
