Whether a client is injured on a construction site or is suffering financially from a breached real estate development contract, we have the skills to litigate construction cases.
Over the past 40 years, the attorneys at Colson Hicks Eidson have established a reputation for success in representing large, complex cases, including construction accident and wrongful death claims. For example, we represented wrongful death suits of several workers killed when a parking garage at Miami-Dade Community College collapsed. This project, valued at $22.5 million, involved many different contractors, five of which received citations for safety code violations. After an extensive investigation, our construction accident attorney found that structural defects combined with damage from a previous crane accident caused the collapse, killing four workers and injuring many more.
When an employer, contractor or another entity acts negligently or fails to follow safety regulations on a construction site, the result is often hazardous conditions that can lead to large-scale, potentially fatal accidents. These kinds of construction accidents can be costly to investigate, and may involve multiple defendants. However, the attorneys at Colson Hicks Eidson have a record of success in complex, fatal construction accident cases. We work with leading experts to establish fault and help obtain compensation to families for their immense losses.
Construction projects commonly involve multiple companies and contractors. Every company on a construction site has a responsibility to ensure safety for all workers by following regulations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). However, in the event of a fatal construction accident, it may not be clear exactly which party or parties were negligent without a thorough investigation by experts. Often, the families of wrongful death victims may recover compensation from multiple defendants in these types of claims.
We frequently find that the following entities may be at fault in these types of cases:
Our personal injury lawyers have over 40 years of experience with providing legal representation to families needing to determine fault in construction accidents and to pursue wrongful death claims.
We want our readers to know that they have a limited amount of time to file lawsuits in these cases. However, properly understanding the exact amount of time can be challenging. For every type of business tort case that we discussed above, there are different statutes of limitation written into the law. Additionally, each state across the country is allowed to set its own statute of limitations for every type of business tort claim. This can lead to a myriad of different time limits that can confuse most business owners and operators.
We strongly recommend you contact one of the business tort attorneys at Colson Hicks Eidson for help understanding how much time you have to file a claim. We will conduct a thorough examination of your claim and make sure that any approaching deadline is met with proper court filings.
Our firm understands that no amount of monetary compensation can replace the pain and suffering you feel because of the loss of your loved one. However, it can help you pay for the economic and non-economic damages this loss caused you and your family.
