Charleston, West Virginia, Construction Site Accidents

At the Akers Law Offices, we represent both workers and passersby who have been injured by accidents or dangerous conditions at construction sites. For a free consultation about your claims, contact a knowledgeable West Virginia personal injury lawyer at our Charleston office.

We represent carpenters, excavators, roofers, plumbers, electricians, laborers, and other workers who are seriously injured on construction sites in any of the following ways:

• Falls from heights
• Exposure to toxic chemicals or other hazardous materials
• Electrocution or explosion
• Injuries caused by structural collapse or falling objects
• Accidents involving trucks, vans, mobile equipment, or other motor vehicles
• Crane or other heavy equipment accidents
• Trench collapse or other excavation mishaps, including mine expansion accidents
• Injuries caused by defective tools or equipment
• Accidents suffered on highway, bridge, or local road construction projects
• Accidents caused by negligent storage of equipment, materials, or debris

Workers are not the only persons exposed to the risk of serious injury or death at construction sites. Drivers in construction zones, pedestrians in badly marked or secured residential or commercial construction areas, or shoppers in retail areas undergoing renovation can all get hurt in much the same way that the workers themselves can be injured.
