Construction Accidents

Columbus, Ohio, Construction Accident Attorney

A construction site is usually a relatively dangerous work environment in and of itself. However, when negligence or other improper action occurs in the form of non-compliance with safety standards, the results can prove catastrophic for employees. At the law office of Brian G. Miller Co., L.P.A., we provide effective representation to construction workers who are injured at their workplace or in the course of their employment.

Attorney Brian G. Miller has established himself as an accomplished trial lawyer, and has handled numerous cases involving construction accidents. If you or a family member has been seriously injured, or if you have lost a loved one in a fatal construction accident, contact our Central Ohio law office today to discuss your legal options for the financial recovery you need.

If you are hurt at work, Ohio's workers' compensation law typically does not allow personal injury claims against an employer, except in cases of an "employer intentional tort," where the employer knew of highly dangerous conditions which posed a substantial certainty of harm to employees. In such circumstances, an employer can pursue a claim against their employer. Mr. Miller has years of experience handling these very specific types of claims. In addition, simple miscommunication and/or negligent compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations by general contractors, subcontractors, and other third parties working at the construction site, may cause serious injury and result in the ability to file other types of third party liability claims.

Our office is capable of providing knowledgeable, confident legal advice and preeminent advocacy to individuals injured as a result of:

• Unmarked or unguarded holes
• Forklift accidents
• Trench collapse accidents
• Machinery misuse
• Negligent machinery maintenance
• Machinery accidents
• Electrical accidents
• Unsecured items or machinery
• Scaffold falls or other falling accidents
• Failure to provide fall protection (lanyard/harness)

Generally unsafe conditions result from improper maintenance of property, poor communication between subcontractors, causing a falling accident and serious injuries to the employees working on the hazardous site. 

We are diligent in our investigations and always maintain a current understanding of the law as it applies to our clients' negligence, employer intentional tort, and third party personal injury claims. Attorney Miller has been recognized for his successful advocacy and has been named a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, as well as an Ohio SuperLawyer Rising Star for the three years in a row.

We can help you secure your fair and just recovery of medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, injuries, and any other losses or damages.
