Miami’s construction industry is booming, but with increased construction comes increased risk of serious injuries. Construction workers face some of the highest injury rates of any profession. If you’ve been hurt on a construction site, you need a Miami construction accident lawyer who understands both workers’ compensation and third-party liability claims.
Common Construction Accidents in Miami
Construction sites present numerous hazards including falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, crane accidents, electrocutions, being struck by falling objects, and equipment malfunctions. Our Miami construction accident attorneys have handled cases involving all types of construction site injuries.
Workers' Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims
While workers' compensation provides some benefits, it often doesn't fully compensate injured workers. Our Miami personal injury lawyers investigate whether third parties (general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers) may be liable, allowing for additional compensation beyond workers' comp.
OSHA Violations and Safety Standards
Construction companies must follow strict OSHA safety standards. When employers violate these standards and workers get hurt, it strengthens your personal injury case. Our Miami construction accident lawyers work with safety experts to identify violations that contributed to your injury.
Catastrophic Construction Injuries
Construction accidents often result in severe injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and burns. These catastrophic injuries require extensive medical care and may prevent you from returning to work. Our Miami personal injury attorneys fight for compensation that covers these long-term needs.
"I fell three stories when scaffolding collapsed. Eugene Mesin got me $1.2 million when I thought I'd only get workers' comp. He found multiple parties responsible for the unsafe conditions."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue my employer for a construction accident?
Generally, workers' compensation is your exclusive remedy against your employer. However, you may be able to sue third parties such as general contractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers who contributed to your injury.
What if I was working without proper safety equipment?
Employers are required to provide proper safety equipment and training. If your employer failed to provide safety gear or training, this strengthens your case rather than hurting it.
How much is my construction accident case worth?
The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and degree of negligence involved. Our Miami construction accident lawyers will evaluate all aspects of your case to pursue maximum compensation.
