Experienced Legal Help for Injured Construction Workers and Fall Victims
When a construction worker or construction site visitor falls from an elevated surface, the results can be devastating. A construction site fall can leave a child or adult with permanent disabilities. This type of fall can change the construction worker's career — or even end the career altogether. Full evaluation of the compensation available is essential to ensuring the accident victim, and his or her family, have the resources necessary to deal with the ongoing demands of a serious injury.

Utah Attorneys Helping Workers Who Fall: Ladders, Scaffolding, and More
Falls from elevated surfaces can result in serious injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries or closed head injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputation, and even fatal injuries. Our Salt Lake City construction accident lawyers are experienced handling catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases involving all types of construction site fall accidents such as:
- Falls from a ladder
- Falls from scaffolding, including when a scaffolding collapses
- Falls from the roof
- Falls from building platforms
- Falls from elevator shafts
- Falls from uncovered or improperly covered holes in the wall or floor
- Other construction site falls
When a construction worker is injured or dies due to a fall, we work diligently to ask the right questions, work with experts to analyze equipment for defects, and assess the relationship of the contractors, subcontractors, and other parties that may have been involved in the construction accident.
While workers' compensation laws prevent injured workers from filing negligence lawsuits against their employers, when a party who is not the employer is negligent, that party may be held financially responsible in a third-party claim. This could include other subcontractor companies, such as companies responsible for constructing scaffolding or for site safety, or it could involve maintenance companies, defective equipment manufacturers, or other parties. We work to identify and expose such negligence, and to demonstrate the full extent of injuries and liability.
