Construction zones are some of the most dangerous workplaces in Virginia. With constantly changing conditions, heavy machinery, and multiple subcontractors on site, even a moment of negligence can lead to serious or fatal injury. If you’ve been hurt while working on—or simply passing by—a construction site in Lake Barcroft, you may have the right to seek compensation. At Malloy Law Offices, our Lake Barcroft construction accident lawyer helps injured workers, visitors, and bystanders hold the responsible parties accountable.
From multi-story scaffolding to high-voltage wiring and unsecured materials, construction sites are full of potential dangers. Injuries often result from:
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops
Crane collapses or falling loads
Struck-by incidents from vehicles or equipment
Trench cave-ins and structural failures
Electrocution from exposed or ungrounded wiring
Defective tools or safety equipment
Poor site management or missing fall protection
In many cases, these injuries aren’t the result of “just a dangerous job”—they’re the result of someone cutting corners on safety.
Workers’ comp may cover some expenses, but it rarely reflects the full impact of your injuries. You may have a personal injury claim if a third party contributed to your accident. Liable parties might include:
General contractors or site managers who failed to enforce safety rules
Subcontractors who created unsafe conditions
Property owners who didn’t correct known hazards
Equipment manufacturers or distributors
Engineers or architects responsible for defective design
Delivery drivers or third parties who acted recklessly on site
Our legal team digs deep—reviewing safety logs, contracts, witness statements, and OSHA reports—to uncover the full scope of responsibility.
Even with hard hats and harnesses, construction injuries are often severe. We represent clients in Lake Barcroft who’ve suffered:
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from falling objects
Broken bones and complex fractures
Amputations and crush injuries from machinery
Burns from electrical or chemical exposure
Internal injuries and organ damage
PTSD and psychological trauma from serious or fatal incidents
Many of these injuries require long-term care, rehabilitation, and major lifestyle adjustments—especially if you work in a physically demanding trade.
If your accident was caused by someone other than your direct employer, you may be entitled to compensation that includes:
Full medical expenses, including surgeries and rehab
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Vocational retraining or disability-related costs
Home modifications and assistive technology
Mental health counseling for trauma
Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members
