A construction site is populated not only by construction workers but by the tools and materials required to assemble the building involved. This means that every job-site is littered with hundreds, if not thousands, of items that could potentially fall and injure someone. The danger of falling objects on a construction site is a real one, and the consequences are often severe. Being struck with a falling object can result in concussion, broken bones, brain trauma, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries, paralysis, or even death. At Tucker Lawyers PC we understand how important it is for a construction worker to be in peak physical condition. If a fallen object has caused you an injury, we believe you deserve to be provided for as you recover. You are entitled to benefits to provide for medical attention, pay for your medical bills, as well as your lost wages. In addition, you may be able to recover for your pain and suffering if it can be proven that proper safety measures were not taken.
