Handling All Types of Construction Accidents
Our firm has the skill and resources to effectively handle all types of construction accident cases, including:

  • Scaffolding and ladder accidents
  • Forklift accidents
  • Roof collapse and trench collapses
  • Electrical explosions
  • Slip and falls
We represent clients suffering from catastrophic injuries, including brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, back injuries, burn injuries, amputations and more. We also represent families who are mourning the wrongful death of a loved one who died in a construction site accident.

Our past successes include a $1.5 million settlement for an employee whose leg was crushed in a forklift accident.

Understanding the Complexity of Construction Accidents
Construction accident cases are very complex for a variety of reasons. There may be two separate claims filed: one for worker's compensation and another third-party claim to recover personal injury compensation. In addition, determining who is potentially responsible for the accident, especially if there are multiple work crews working on the construction site and therefore knowing whom to sue, may be a very complex question.

Our firm is led by Richard Harpootlian. Mr. Harpootlian is a successful litigator with more than 34 years experience. He will thoroughly investigate the accident, consult accident reconstructionists and other experts to build a compelling case on his clients' behalf.
