People who work in construction know it is dangerous work. But it should be as safe as possible. If subcontractors or some other "third parties" cause obvious hazards that result in a catastrophic injury or wrongful death, they should be sued.

At The Hawkins Law Firm, our lawyers have spent more than 10 years helping people in Upstate South Carolina with all kinds of personal injury cases. Meet with us in a free consultation and we can quickly determine whether you might have a valid case. If you do, we will work hard to get you full compensation, while charging you no attorneys' fees until a recovery is made.

Kinds of Construction Accidents

We handle a specific kind of construction accident called "third party" cases. These cases involve taking on someone besides your employer, such as a subcontractor or the maker of defective equipment, who was responsible for your injury.

On the other hand, if the negligence of your employer was to blame for the accident, it is typically a workers' compensation issue. Almost all employers must carry workers' compensation insurance, which gives them immunity from civil lawsuits.

Regardless of who caused the injury, accidents tend to take one of the following forms:

• Ladder or scaffold injuries
• Defective tools, machines, or other equipment (see also Defective Products )
• Injuries caused by trucks, cranes, or other vehicles
• Lack of or deficient safety precautions

Many attorneys would shy away from taking on large companies for causing injuries. But the attorneys of The Hawkins Law Firm relish the opportunity to use our experience and knowledge to hold a powerful organization responsible for its actions. No matter who you believe is at fault for the injury affecting you or your loved one, we are ready to help.
