Atlanta Construction Accident Lawyer

Fighting for the People Who Build Our City

Construction injuries are often severe, sudden, and avoidable. Whether caused by falling debris, unsafe scaffolding, heavy machinery, or a careless subcontractor, these incidents can leave lasting consequences. At Parrish Law Firm, we represent workers and civilians hurt on or near construction sites. We know how to untangle complex liability issues and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Common Construction Accident Cases We Handle

Construction sites pose many hazards. We take on injury cases involving:

• Falls from heights (scaffolding, ladders, rooftops)
  
• Equipment failure or heavy machinery accidents
  
• Trench collapses and structural failures
  
• Electrocution and power line injuries
  
• Struck-by incidents (falling tools, materials, or vehicles)
  
• Fires and explosions
  
• Defective safety equipment or harness failure
  
• Inadequate supervision or safety training
  

We help clients secure compensation through personal injury claims, even if workers’ comp is involved.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Unlike workers’ comp claims, which cover medical bills and partial wages, personal injury lawsuits allow for full compensation—but only if a third party was at fault. We investigate whether negligence was caused by:

• A subcontractor’s unsafe practices
  
• A property owner or general contractor’s failure to maintain safe conditions
  
• Faulty equipment from a rental company or manufacturer
  
• Negligent crane operators or machinery handlers
  
• Site engineers or safety inspectors who ignored risks
  
  

In many cases, multiple parties may share liability.

Imagine This

You’re a licensed electrician working at a Midtown Atlanta hotel renovation. A scaffold, erected by another subcontractor, collapses and sends you crashing two stories onto concrete. You suffer spinal fractures and a head injury. Although workers’ comp pays some benefits, we file a separate claim against the negligent scaffolding company to recover damages for your pain, lost future earnings, and disability.

Why Construction Injuries Are So Complex

Construction sites often involve multiple companies, contractors, and insurers. We’re experienced in navigating:

• OSHA violations and site inspection reports
  
• Union and non-union jobsite policies
  
• Contracts between general contractors and subcontractors
  
• Equipment maintenance logs and rental agreements
  
• Coordination with workers’ comp benefits
