 Construction Site Accidents & InjuryWhen a general or subcontractor is negligent in their responsibility to maintain a safe construction site, they should be held accountable.
Most work-related injuries are covered by the workers' compensation system. We do not handle those types of cases. But, if the person that caused the injury was not the employer or a co-worker, then a claim can be made. Usually, it is another subcontractor or even the general contractor. But it can be anyone that is not an employer or co-employee. We call those “third-party” claims.
In Iowa, general contractors are responsible to provide a reasonably safe working environment. If you were injured by a general contractor's negligence, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries through a personal injury lawsuit.

We Work Hard to Help Clients Move Forward
Because of the kind of work done on construction sites involves large equipment, heights, or heavy materials, the injuries suffered at a job site will be devastating and life-changing. While worker’s compensation may help in the short run, it is often inadequate over a lifetime.
