Construction sites are extremely dangerous places to work and result in over 150,000 injuries on job sites each year. In this horrible accident, it is essential for the injured workers to have an independent legal investigation performed to preserve evidence. This includes reviewing:

  • Evaluation of construction site working conditions
  • Evaluation if construction site safety regulations are up to code
