Areas of Practice
Construction Accidents
The firm represents injured workers involved in all types of construction accidents, including residential, commercial, and industrial construction accidents. Cases have included scaffolding and staging collapses, wall and roof collapses, falls through unprotected floor openings, crane and aerial lift overturns, dropped loads, job site electrocutions, and construction elevator and material lift accidents. We represent laborers, electricians, ironworkers, plumbers, masons, and all other construction trades in injury claims. Frequently, injuries at construction sites are the result of the negligence of general contractors, construction managers, safety officers, architects, engineers or sub-contractors. The firm represents workers injured or killed by this negligence. Other construction accidents result from defective products including tools, lifts, hoists, ladders, staging, cranes, and other products used in construction. Sugarman represents injured workers in products liability claims arising from construction site accidents. In all of these cases, Sugarman collaborates with workers' compensation counsel to maximize the total recovery to the injured worker.
