Construction Accident Litigation

Construction accident litigation involves injuries that occur on any type of construction project or construction site, whether residential, commercial or industrial. The term "construction" is defined broadly and includes any type of work involving demolition, excavation, grading, erection, maintenance, remodeling, renovation, repair or any other type of work done by the building trades and/or construction workers.

In construction accident litigation, the owner, construction managers, general contractor and/or prime contractor are responsible to provide all workers with a reasonably safe place to work. Additional duties may be imposed by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA), Local Building Codes, as well as the Association of General Contractors (A.G.C.) and American Institute of Architects (AIA) contract documents.

Construction projects frequently involve multi-employer work sites and complex contracts between the companies performing the work. Because of this, we recommend that if you are involved in a construction accident, that you allow us to review your facts to determine the full extent of your legal rights and remedies.
