Boston Construction Accidents
Massachusetts construction accident attorneys protecting workers
The Boston, Massachusetts construction accident lawyers at Baker & Abraham understand the inherent dangers of working in construction. Construction is the largest industry in the United States, and one that has historically registered high rates of workplace accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Every day, workers need to be mindful of so many life-threatening hazards:

Valuable knowledge of injury and safety laws
In an attempt to reduce the volume of worksite accidents, the federal government created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). After more than 23 years and a myriad of safety regulations OSHA has had some success in reducing injuries and fatalities among construction workers; however, much work still needs to be done.
Choosing the right construction accident lawyer in Boston can make all the difference in safeguarding the legal rights of injured workers, and securing a financial recovery for them and their families.
Our Boston construction accident attorneys fully understand OSHA regulations and state and local laws governing construction sites, and how to prove when they have been violated.
Our accident investigations involve identifying and locating witnesses before company representatives or insurance adjusters try to intimidate them, convince them to “lose their memories,” discourage them from talking to anyone, or threaten their employment. At Baker & Abraham, P.C., we leave no stone unturned in our efforts to preserve crucial evidence. We also hire respected experts in construction, safety, and engineering to build our case.
Experienced in third-party lawsuits
When construction workers are injured on the job, they are entitled to workers compensation benefits. Those benefits are paid by the employer’s workers compensation insurer. However, injured workers or family members of workers who are killed on the job also may bring a claim against a third party who is responsible for their injury. Third parties include the property owner, general contractor, and subcontractors on the site.
We represent clients in workers compensation proceedings and appeals, in third-party negligence claims, and in products liability actions related to defective equipment and tools. Compensation may include damages for pain, suffering, and economic loss.
Our experience is significant. A review of our case results reveals numerous recoveries obtained for worksite injury victims and their families.
