Construction Accidents



Albuquerque Lawyer: Construction Accidents

Don't count yourself out. Call Will Ferguson.

Building sites are hazardous environments, and in the event of a construction accident, a worker is likely to suffer a catastrophic or fatal injury. Under New Mexico law, any injured employee is entitled to workers' compensation. However, those benefits do not cover all of the employee's losses.

At Will Ferguson & Associates, our Albuquerque personal injury firm, our attorneys assist construction workers in recovering additional compensation through third-party claims, such as a product liability or premises liability claim. Examples of accidents where the employee or visitor to a site might have more than one claim include those involving the following:

  • A scaffolding fall, an unsafe ladder, an unguarded walkway or an open foundation that is not properly taped off
  • An injury resulting from a poorly designed or defective power tool or other equipment
  • A construction truck accident where auto insurance might apply
  • Foundation collapse, roof collapse, a fallen wall

It is our goal to see that every client at our firm recovers maximum compensation. When handling a construction accident claim, our lawyers work with medical and economic experts to accurately calculate the full extent of a client's losses from a serious injury — such as a head injury, amputation, a spinal cord injury or electrical injury — or the value of a claim for wrongful death.
