Construction Accidents

Determining who is responsible for a construction site accident can be complex and requires an experienced attorney to navigate the process, identify the responsible parties and hold them accountable. Construction site accidents often involve multiple parties – general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, equipment makers and others – who all point the finger of liability in different directions. Your injury may have been caused by the general contractor or it may have been one of the many subcontractors working on the site. In addition, it could have been the manufacturer of a defective piece of equipment. 

Based on our decades of experience handling complex construction cases, including many of those involved in Boston’s “Big Dig” project, the attorneys at Jones Kelleher know the critical questions to ask in order to develop the best possible case and maximize your potential recovery by ensuring that all entities and persons responsible for your injuries are held accountable.
