Charleston Job Site Injury Attorneys
Construction work can be dangerous. As a result, employees in this industry are protected by various state and federal regulations that are intended to provide them with safe work sites and protect them from injuries and death. When these laws are violated, injured workers may be eligible to seek compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs and damages.
When bad things happen to good people, we're here to help.
At the Huntington law firm of Duffield, Lovejoy & Stemple, Attorneys at Law, we represent clients who were injured while working in construction. As life-long residents of the region, we understand the concerns of our clients and spend the time required to answer their questions thoroughly. We know the regulations that govern the construction industry, including federal regulations such as OSHA, and state laws designed to mitigate the dangers of construction work. We build strong cases that use our legal knowledge, our understanding of our clients' stories and our willingness to work hard to obtain needed compensation for them.
Our attorneys know that a financial award does not resolve all the problems caused by an on-the-job injury. We also know that being relieved of financial anxiety can help an injured person heal and get back to work.
Almost every employer in West Virginia, including construction companies, is required by law to carry insurance that pays workers' compensation benefits to injured employees, regardless of who caused the injury. In addition, many employees may be eligible to file personal injury lawsuits against third parties (not their employers) for injuries resulting from violation of safety standards or other negligence. Our attorneys advise people about their rights and help them chose the best legal strategy for their circumstances.
Our clients include workers in residential, commercial and highway construction. We have helped individuals who suffered injuries in shoring accidents, electrical accidents, motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, ladder accidents and scaffolding accidents. We also represent families in wrongful death actions after they lost loved ones in construction accidents.
