The Reality of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents are more common than most people realize. According to OSHA, one in five worker deaths in the U.S. occurs in the construction industry. But it’s not just fatalities that matter — non-fatal injuries can also result in long-term pain, disability, and financial hardship.
Common types of construction site accidents include:
- Falls from heights (roofs, ladders, scaffolding)
- Electrocutions
- Falling objects or debris
- Trench collapses
- Equipment malfunctions
- Crane and forklift accidents
- Fires and explosions
- Exposure to toxic substances
These accidents often result in serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord injuries, broken bones, burns, and even amputations. If you’ve suffered any of these outcomes, you deserve to be represented by a knowledgeable construction accident lawyer who understands both the legal and medical aspects of your case.
Why You Need a Construction Accident Attorney
Construction accident cases are not simple. While Workers’ Compensation may be available, it often doesn’t fully cover your losses, and it may not be your only option. Many injury victims don’t realize they may also pursue a third-party personal injury claim, depending on how the accident occurred and who was responsible.
A skilled construction accident law firm like Aiello Law Group can:
- Investigate your accident thoroughly
- Identify all liable parties (e.g., contractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners)
- File both Workers’ Compensation and third-party claims
- Handle communication with insurance companies
- Fight for full compensation through settlement or trial
We take on the legal burden so you can focus on what matters: healing and rebuilding your life.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Construction Accident?
Many people assume that their only legal option is filing a Workers’ Compensation claim. While Workers’ Comp is important, it often doesn’t provide enough to cover serious medical bills, long-term disability, or lost future income. Depending on your case, you may also be able to file a third-party personal injury lawsuit.
Parties that may be held liable in a construction accident include:
- General contractors and subcontractors
- Property owners
- Equipment manufacturers
- Site managers
- Maintenance companies
- Engineering or architectural firms
Identifying all responsible parties requires legal expertise and a thorough investigation — something our construction accident law firm handles for every client.
Types of Compensation You May Be Eligible For
If you’ve been hurt on a construction site, you may be entitled to several forms of compensation, either through Workers’ Comp or a personal injury claim:
- Medical expenses (hospital stays, surgeries, rehab, prescriptions)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional distress
- Disability or disfigurement
- Vocational retraining
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
Our job is to calculate the full value of your losses and fight aggressively to recover every dollar you’re owed.
Your Legal Options After a Construction Accident
Every case is different. That’s why the first step should always be a consultation with an experienced construction accident attorney like Aiello Law Group. Depending on the circumstances, you may have one or more paths to recovery:
Workers’ Compensation
This is a no-fault system, meaning you can file a claim regardless of who caused the accident. It covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages, but does not cover pain and suffering.
Third-Party Lawsuits
If someone other than your employer contributed to your injury, you may be able to file a separate personal injury lawsuit. This can result in additional compensation.
Product Liability Claims
If defective tools or machinery caused the accident, the manufacturer or distributor may be held liable.
Wrongful Death Claims
In fatal accidents, surviving family members may bring a wrongful death lawsuit to seek justice and financial support.
Unsure of your options? Let our construction accident lawyers at Aiello Law Group review our case and show you what your options are.
Don’t Wait — There Are Strict Deadlines
In Michigan, most Workers’ Compensation claims must be reported within 90 days of the injury, and lawsuits must be filed within a specific time frame (often three years). Delays can affect your case or even make it more difficult to pursue compensation.
It’s important to act quickly. Evidence can disappear. Witness memories can fade. Deadlines can pass. Call Aiello Law Group today and let our team preserve your rights.
