Construction work is physically demanding, and the risks are real. Falls from scaffolding, equipment failures, falling objects, and electrical hazards can leave workers with serious injuries in the blink of an eye.

As a personal injury law firm, we handle Wisconsin construction accident cases with the dedication and care each client deserves. Our experienced team is committed to helping you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you are owed.
Construction sites involve heavy machinery, power tools, elevated work areas, and a wide range of hazards that shift daily. Multiple contractors and workers often share the same space, which increases the chance that something will go wrong. Understanding what causes these accidents can help injured workers make sense of their situation.
Wisconsin law requires employers to maintain safe working conditions for all employees. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets safety standards that must be followed on job sites nationwide. Unfortunately, safety violations still happen, and workers are often the ones hurt. According to OSHA’s commonly used statistics, falls are the leading cause of construction fatalities, and fall protection is the most frequently cited safety violation.
Several factors contribute to serious injuries on construction sites. The following are among the most frequently seen:
These accidents can cause injuries that change a person’s life permanently, including spinal cord injuries, brain damage, severe burns, and broken bones. If any of these situations sound familiar, speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible can make a meaningful difference in your case.
One of the most important questions after a construction accident is who is responsible. However, the answer is not always simple. Multiple parties may share liability depending on how the accident happened and who controlled the worksite.
Liability in construction accident cases may involve one or more of the following parties, depending on the specifics:
Identifying all responsible parties matters, and it takes careful investigation to do it right. Our team works to build a thorough picture of what happened so we understand what happened and who may be responsible.
A serious construction accident can affect every area of your life. Injuries may require surgery, extended rehabilitation, and time away from work. In the most serious cases, they can result in wrongful death, leaving families to cope with grief and financial uncertainty at the same time.
Wisconsin law may allow injured workers and families to pursue compensation, which may include:
In some situations involving especially reckless conduct, additional damages may be available. If you were injured while working, you may also have a separate work injury claim in addition to a personal injury case. Workers’ compensation and a third-party claim can sometimes run side by side, and understanding both options is important.

In this car accident case, the client suffered catastrophic injuries in a head-on collision when the at-fault driver crossed the center line. Her injuries included multiple broken bones in the chest, ribs, wrist, and ankle, internal injuries requiring intestinal surgery, and a damaged artery in the spine. With medical expenses exceeding $4,000, we secured the at-fault driver’s full insurance coverage and pursued an additional $1,000,000 from the client’s own insurance policy. We also negotiated a reduction of more than $468,000 in outstanding medical costs to ensure the client received maximum financial recovery for her life-altering injuries and permanent impact on her ability to work.
The client’s loved one suffered a fatal injury in an auto collision that resulted in over $382,000 in medical bills. Acting as the family’s second attorney, we navigated difficult policy-limit issues and secured a $1,000,000 settlement. While the case had greater overall value and the family would have liked a higher recovery, they chose to settle to avoid prolonged litigation and move forward.
