Construction work is physically demanding, exposed to the elements, and without question, far more risky than any desk job. It's not surprising that construction workers get injured on the job, and while workers' compensation does provide limited benefits, it frequently leaves the real cause of injuries on the job unaddressed.
MALIS LAW has a great deal of experience in litigating construction site injuries. Time and profit pressures on complex and simple construction projects often result in safety guidelines being treated as “optional.” The results can be devastating — and sometimes fatal.
Our work in representing major construction contractors in commercial disputes, along with Dan's’ years of work first defending and then suing contractors over safety issues and injuries, have enabled our firm to successfully resolve cases for injured site workers and unfortunate bystanders.
Your Advocate on the Job Site
Our familiarity with construction contracts and worksite practices have enabled us to maneuver clients’ cases through the intricacies of contractor and subcontractor relationships; site task delegation; indemnity and insurance agreements; and workers’ compensation immunity.
In plainer terms, we are experienced, stubborn, and diligent enough to know which parties to sue to maximize a workers’ recovery and understand how a “minor” injury has major impact upon a worker’s family and his earnings. That’s why other lawyers refer us their construction site claims — an insider’s knowledge makes a difference.
Construction Site Accidents Are:
All injuries to workers and visitors on worksites because of negligence by contractors, owners, designers, or architects involved in the construction process.
