Florida Construction Accident Lawyers
When a Construction Failure Changes Everything, You Need a Firm Built for Complex Litigation
In premises liability, construction site accidents not only kill or injure site workers but also invitees to the site and people who play or work in the surrounding areas.
Construction Accident Lawyer in Florida
While an injured worker may seek compensation from the workers’ compensation laws, an innocent bystander or his or her survivors need the assistance of an experienced construction accident lawyer. These cases require immediate attention because a defective product and an accident scene need to be photographed and documented, as it is vital that the evidence be preserved. Silva & Silva relies on a team of architects, engineers, general contractors, and safety experts to help its construction accident attorneys and investigators analyze the accident scene and prepare the case for trial.
Our construction accident attorneys represent accident cases in Miami, Miami Beach, Miami Gardens, Coral Gables, and surrounding areas in Florida.
Adequate Safety Provisions
Construction companies have a duty to inspect each site in a diligent and professional manner. They should hire safety engineers, implement safety programs, and adequately train their workers. When a construction site accident occurs, the owners, architects, engineers, developers, subcontractors, insurers, manufacturers, and/or lessors of equipment and tools may be held liable for failing to provide adequate safety provisions and/or safety equipment and tools.
Defective or dangerous products that often cause construction site accidents are cranes, scaffolds, power tools, ladders, trucks, and hoses. For example, it is common for crane operators to negligently knock down power lines, which in turn electrocute innocent bystanders. Poor safety conditions often lead to falling objects, which can be fatal on any given day.
