I am a construction worker and got injured while working on a construction project. I went to a law firm to represent me for my injuries. They spent two years never communicating and meeting with us, and then, sent us a letter after two years that they were dropping our case.
My son, who is also a construction worker that Michael Lamonsoff represented, referred us to his office. Michael told us that we did have a case and that the other attorneys did not know what they were talking about.
He immediately took action. He litigated the case. He and his wonderful staff kept us informed at all times. Just before trial, we went to a mediation. Michael fought very hard for us. He and his team spent hours until they got us a magnificent settlement.
What are the common causes of a construction stairway accident?
Construction slips, trips, or falls on stairways happen for a variety of reasons but here are some of the most common:
- Debris on the construction site: Debris on construction sites include remnants from cut wood, cement, wires, paper, etc., all of which can lead to a major trip or fall down the stairs. If a construction site manager failed to keep the area clean, they can be held accountable for the injuries you sustained on the job.
- Unfinished projects: While a project is under construction, incomplete structural elements, such as a staircase could cause a slip, trip, or fall. Construction site managers are responsible for overseeing the site and must ensure they safeguard against accidents.
- Elements: When a building is under construction, it will be open to the elements. Snow and ice can quickly accumulate, increasing the possibility of slips, trips, or falls on stairways. These substances must be removed from the area to ensure each worker’s safety. If they were not properly dealt with and you suffered injuries, you have every right to pursue a claim.
