Construction Accidents

Construction and Work Site Injuries

Construction sites can be dangerous places even when managers, contractors, subcontractors and others responsible for work site safety are doing their jobs. Under these circumstances, seemingly minor lapses in safety can result in serious injury and even death due to a scaffolding fall, head injury from a falling material, or explosion. In situations where lives potentially hang in the balance, we believe that prioritizing profit over safety may be the very essence of negligence.

Attorney Stephen C. Ball is a member of our firm as well as a former contractor. His perspective, combined with our firm's impressive construction litigation experience, has led us to the conclusion that many construction accidents are caused simply by cutting corners in an attempt to keep costs down and to meet tight, and even unrealistic, schedules.

At the Pasadena law firm of Ball & Roberts, our attorneys and accident investigators will work on behalf of an injured construction worker or passerby who was hurt in a construction accident due to negligence, including:

• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations or other regulatory violations
• Carelessness caused by expedited contracts and the failure to supervise the flow of the trades
• Failure to employ construction managers with adequate experience in the job
• Scheduling errors between contractors and subcontractors leading to dangerous conditions
• Negligent site management or failure to supervise safety conditions
• Improper installation or failure of safety equipment
• Chemical exposure, explosion, electrocution or burns caused by negligent handling or use of dangerous materials or equipment
