Construction sites are some of the most hazardous workplaces in Virginia. Between scaffolding, cranes, open trenches, and electrical wiring, even a small oversight can lead to devastating consequences. If you were injured on a construction site—whether as a worker, subcontractor, inspector, or bystander—you may be entitled to compensation beyond what workers’ comp provides. At Malloy Law Offices, our Comptons Corner construction accident attorney helps injured clients hold negligent parties accountable and pursue full financial recovery.
The fast-paced, multi-contractor environment on most job sites creates conditions where accidents can happen fast—and liability can be complex. We routinely represent individuals hurt in incidents involving:
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops
Collapsing trenches or unstable structures
Crane accidents or dropped loads
Nail gun and power tool malfunctions
Electrocution from exposed wiring or improper grounding
Injuries from falling debris or unsecured materials
Faulty harnesses, helmets, or other protective gear
Many of these injuries result from safety violations, poor planning, or failure to follow OSHA standards. Our attorneys dig into the details to find out who failed—and why it matters.
Unlike traditional workplace injuries, construction site accidents often involve third-party negligence. Depending on the facts, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ comp. Responsible parties may include:
General contractors or subcontractors who failed to supervise or enforce safety protocols
Property owners who allowed unsafe conditions to exist
Equipment manufacturers whose tools or machinery were defective
Third-party vendors or delivery drivers who caused on-site hazards
Engineers or architects who overlooked structural risks
We gather site reports, witness statements, and expert analysis to build a strong case and pursue all available sources of compensation.
Even with protective gear, construction accidents often result in life-altering injuries. Our firm regularly represents victims facing:
Spinal trauma and neck injuries
Head injuries, including concussions and TBIs
Broken bones and joint injuries
Amputations or crush injuries from heavy machinery
Burns from electrical faults or chemical exposure
Ligament tears and soft tissue damage
PTSD and emotional trauma from traumatic events
We work with specialists to evaluate the long-term impact of your injuries and ensure that your recovery is fully accounted for.
If your injury was caused by someone other than your direct employer—or by a safety lapse that violates legal standards—you may be entitled to damages such as:
Hospital bills and medical treatment
Physical therapy, rehab, and medication
Lost income and future loss of earnings
Pain and suffering
Disability accommodations and assistive devices
Home modifications for accessibility
Wrongful death compensation for grieving families
Unlike workers’ compensation, third-party claims allow recovery for pain, emotional hardship, and other non-economic damages.
