Construction Accidents

We are Minnesota construction accident attorneys and MN workplace injury lawyers dedicated to representing the rights of injured construction workers

Construction workers in Minnesota work in some of the most difficult and dangerous work environments which sometimes involve serious injuries. There are a complex number of statutes, regulations and case law that cover a worker when they are injured. This also includes a separate set of laws governed by Minnesota workers compensation.

Construction accidents can be caused by many different problems encountered on a construction site including:

• electrical and burn accidents
• unsafe equipment
• falls from scaffolding
• faulty machinery
• chemical exposure
• falling building materials
• improper planning and safety precautions
• injuries caused by third party companies and subcontractors

Workers exposed to construction site accidents causing injuries happen on the job everyday and can range from minor sprains and strains to permanent and catastrophic injuries sometimes resulting in death. When a construction worker is injured there are often multiple claims that need to be considered including workers comp claims, claims against the employer, product liability claims, subcontractor claims and property owner claims.

Following an accident involving serious injuries a worker will face lost wages, medical bills, rehabilitation, and sometimes permanent injuries preventing them from returning to the same type of work or in certain cases the inability to work at all. If or a family member has suffered a work related injury that happened on a construction site an experienced Minnesota construction attorney at Fields Law Firm is ready to help.
