When It Happens On The Job
Workplace injuries are common in many types of employment environments, but the construction industry is virtually unparalleled in terms of the scope and seriousness of workplace injuries. From heavy machinery accidents to exposure to hazardous materials, construction sites pose a multitude of potential dangers to employees, contractors, construction site visitors and even those in the immediate vicinity of a construction site. Construction accidents result in hundreds of thousands of people seeking medical treatment each year. Construction sites also are one of leading workplace environments for job related fatalities.
Our experienced Columbus construction accident lawyers at Montlick recognize the unique challenges that face those who suffer serious injury or wrongful death.
Our Columbus construction accident law firm has been providing aggressive representation and advocacy on behalf of construction site accident victims since our law firm was founded almost three decades ago.

Independent Contractors & Construction Accidents
Because of the substantial hazards on a Columbus construction site, there are many entities that may be liable for construction site injuries including heavy equipment rental companies, manufacturers of tools, architect and design firms, general contractors, equipment operators, and property owners and subcontractors.

If you have been involved in a construction accident on a Columbus construction site, our experienced Columbus construction accident attorneys may be able to seek workers’ compensation benefits from an employer, which may include income replacement, medical care and permanent disability benefits. We may also be able to identify responsible third parties that may have contributed to a Columbus construction accident. While an employee is typically limited to workers’ compensation benefits against an employer, third parties may be liable for broader damages in a personal injury case. Our Columbus construction accident attorneys often are able to supplement workers’ compensation benefits with an additional personal injury claim, collecting damages for pain and suffering, impaired quality of life experience, diminished marital relationship and services as well as other damages.
