Construction Accidents

Construction cases involve any type of accident in or near a construction site where a worker or bystander is injured or killed. Construction is an inherently dangerous profession where workers are faced with life threatening conditions nearly every day. Construction accident cases are extremely complex, and require a full understanding of the intricacies of today’s construction projects as well as the governing regulations and laws. Our firm has a wealth of knowledge in dealing with all types of construction accidents from falls to electrocution. We have over 25 years of experience in dealing with these issues and pride ourselves on doing what it takes to help hardworking construction workers and their families get the accident benefits they deserve. The injured need an expert accident attorney on their side who will go to trial or take on major corporations and insurance companies. Let us take care of the details so you can focus on your recovery.

The experienced accident attorneys at Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot, L.L.P., have pioneered the development of law favorable to construction-accident victims.  For example, our firm won the landmark case establishing the right of injured construction workers in the District of Colombia to receive not only workers'-compensation benefits from their employers but also monetary damages, including for pain and suffering, from “third parties,” that is, wrongdoers other than their employers: Meiggs v. Associated Builders, Inc., 545 A.2d 631 (D.C. 1988).  Please read more about Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot’s contributions to the law on construction accidents and worker’s compensation.
