Michigan Construction Injury Lawyer

Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in Michigan. Workers, contractors, and even bystanders can suffer life-altering injuries when safety rules are ignored or equipment is defective. At JKH Law, PLC, we represent individuals harmed in construction accidents and fight to hold negligent parties accountable under Michigan law.

Common Construction Site Accidents

Construction injuries often result from unsafe conditions, inadequate training, or violations of workplace safety standards. Common cases include:

  • Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or roofs

  • Struck-by accidents, including falling tools, equipment, or debris

  • Electrocutions from exposed wiring or defective power lines

  • Trench collapses and other excavation hazards

  • Heavy machinery accidents, such as forklifts, cranes, and bulldozers

  • Exposure to hazardous chemicals or toxic materials

Serious Injuries from Construction Accidents

The injuries sustained on construction sites can be catastrophic, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

  • Broken bones, crush injuries, and amputations

  • Severe burns from explosions, fires, or electrical accidents

  • Soft tissue injuries leading to chronic pain and disability

These injuries often require long hospital stays, multiple surgeries, and months of rehabilitation—leaving victims unable to work or support their families.

Michigan Construction Injury Law

Construction accident claims may involve multiple areas of law, including:

  • Workers’ Compensation – Injured employees are often entitled to medical coverage and wage benefits, regardless of fault.

  • Third-Party Liability Claims – When someone other than the employer (such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner) is responsible for unsafe conditions, additional compensation may be available.

  • OSHA and MIOSHA Violations – Safety violations can provide powerful evidence of negligence.

A skilled Michigan construction injury attorney can help identify all responsible parties and pursue both workers’ compensation benefits and third-party claims when available.
