Construction Accident Lawyers: Central / Northern Illinois

Helping People Injured on Construction Sites

When you have been hurt on a construction site, you want an attorney who can help you get full and fair compensation for your injuries, whether through a workers' compensation claim, a personal injury lawsuit or both, depending on circumstances.

At Strong Law Offices, we represent personal injury victims throughout central Illinois, including individuals who have been hurt in a construction accident. We never represent insurance companies or large corporations. We dedicate all our resources to protecting the rights of injured people. Contact us to set up a free consultation. From offices in Peoria, Springfield and Bloomington, we serve clients throughout central Illinois, and in northern Illinois locations such as Joliet, LaSalle and Kankakee.

If you have suffered a work injury on a construction site, you may have a third-party liability personal injury claim for damages against the equipment manufacturer, property owner or general contractor, as well as a claim for workers' compensation benefits from your employer. Work comp benefits alone may be inadequate to cover the damages caused by serious injuries that can occur on a construction site. We aggressively evaluate all construction site actions for potential third-party liability, and will seek recovery from all responsible parties, including machinery manufacturers, the property owner, the developer, the general contractor and any subcontractors.

We handle all types of construction accident injuries, including those caused by

• Defective or faulty equipment or machinery, including cranes, jackhammers and power tools
• Repetitive stress through use of jackhammers and other vibrating equipment
• Falls from ladders and scaffolding
• Falling materials, equipment or machinery
• Exposure to unsafe chemicals
• Construction site explosions
• Electrical malfunctions or errors
• Unqualified or improperly trained workers
• Inadequate safety precautions or inspections
• OSHA violations
• Cave in

If you have been injured while working on a construction job or as a bystander at a construction site, we will conduct a thorough investigation of your case, examining the scene of the accident, questioning witnesses and reconstructing the accident. We will use all of our resources to help you get full and fair compensation for your injuries.

We represent individuals who have been injured on all types of construction sites, including commercial and residential structures, high-rise buildings and road construction sites.
