Wheaton Construction Accident Attorney
Construction zones are some of the most hazardous environments in Wheaton. Between heavy machinery, elevated platforms, and constantly changing site conditions, even a single oversight can lead to a catastrophic accident. At Malloy Law Offices, our Wheaton construction accident attorney represents injured workers and subcontractors who’ve been hurt due to unsafe practices, equipment failures, or negligence. If you’ve been injured on a job site, you have rights—and we’re here to protect them.
Common Causes of Construction Site Injuries
Construction accidents aren’t just “part of the job”—many are preventable and result from violations of safety regulations or employer negligence. Frequent causes include:
Falls from heights due to missing guardrails, faulty scaffolding, or unstable ladders
Falling objects, like tools or building materials dropped from above
Equipment accidents, involving cranes, forklifts, or power tools
Electrocution, often caused by exposed wiring or poor lockout/tagout procedures
Trench collapses or structural failures
Slip and trip hazards on cluttered or poorly lit sites
Lack of safety gear or failure to enforce personal protective equipment (PPE) use
Poor site supervision or inadequate worker training
If your employer or a third party failed to follow OSHA guidelines or basic safety protocol, they may be held liable for your injuries.
Serious Injuries We Commonly See
The injuries sustained in construction accidents often require emergency treatment, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation. Our Wheaton construction accident attorneys routinely handle cases involving:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from falling tools or scaffold collapses
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis after falls or vehicle crashes
Amputations due to machinery accidents or crush injuries
Fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue damage
Severe burns from electrical accidents or chemical exposure
Respiratory problems from inhaling asbestos, silica dust, or toxic fumes
In many cases, victims are unable to return to their trade and must rebuild their lives around permanent limitations.
Who Can Be Held Liable After a Construction Accident?
While Maryland’s workers’ compensation system provides some protection, it often doesn’t cover the full scope of your losses. In many cases, you may also be entitled to pursue a third-party claim against:
General contractors or site managers who failed to maintain a safe worksite
Property owners who ignored known hazards
Equipment manufacturers of faulty tools or machinery
Subcontractors whose negligence created unsafe conditions
Engineering or architectural firms responsible for unsafe designs
Our team conducts a full investigation of the accident site, contracts, and safety protocols to determine who may be financially responsible.
What Can You Recover?
Construction accident victims in Wheaton may be eligible to recover compensation for:
Medical expenses (including future care, surgeries, and rehabilitation)
Lost income and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Vocational retraining or career transition support
Home or vehicle modifications for long-term disability
Wrongful death damages for surviving families
We work with medical experts, life care planners, and financial consultants to ensure your claim reflects the full impact of your injuries—now and into the future.
