We Stand Up for the Rights of Injured Workers
U.S. construction workers sustained 135,350 injuries and illnesses in 2007, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Despite safety regulations, workers suffer injuries every day in this dangerous industry. Because there are usually multiple liable entities on construction sites, sorting out who is at fault for an accident can be complicated.
