Construction Falls
Albuquerque Lawyer: Construction Injury ClaimsJerked around on the job? Call Will FergusonPossibly the most common cause of a construction injury is a fall. Scaffolding falls, slip and fall accidents, falls from ladders, falls from roofs, falls into open foundations, falls through floors — one misstep or failed piece of equipment and a construction worker may face months or years of medical treatment and therapy, permanent disability or death. Under New Mexico law, workers' compensation will provide some benefits but will not fully cover losses from a construction injury. Attorneys at our Albuquerque firm, Will Ferguson & Associates, assist injured workers and visitors to construction sites in recovering additional compensation through third-party claims. If your injury resulted from defective equipment, poorly designed heavy machinery or unguarded power tools, you may have a product liability claim in addition to workers' compensation. A slip and fall injury resulting from debris, slippery surfaces or dangerous conditions on a job site, as well an injury stemming from negligent installation of valves and equipment that led to an explosion or fire, may entitle you to a premises liability claim. A construction injury is likely to be catastrophic in scope. When assisting a client, our lawyers work with medical and economic experts to see that our client's losses are accurately calculated.
