Why Construction Workers Choose Our Firm
Construction accidents can lead to life-altering injuries—broken bones, spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, and even fatalities. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, leaving injured workers struggling with medical bills and lost wages. At Mottaz & Sisk Injury Law, we fight back by:
- Investigating every detail of your accident to prove negligence or safety violations
- Maximizing your benefits, including medical coverage, wage loss payments, and vocational rehab
- Handling disputes with insurers so you can focus on recovery
- Pursuing third-party claims if a defective product or subcontractor caused your injury
We’ve helped electricians, ironworkers, roofers, and heavy equipment operators recover after serious workplace accidents. Our attorneys, including Maxwell Riebel and Jim Batchelor, bring unique insights—some have even worked in insurance, giving them an edge in negotiations.
Common Construction Accident Cases We Handle
Construction workers face some of the highest risks of any profession. According to OSHA, 1 in 5 worker fatalities in 2022 occurred in construction. Some of the most frequent accidents we handle include:
- Falls from heights (scaffolds, ladders, roofs)
- Equipment malfunctions (crane collapses, defective power tools)
- Electrocutions (exposed wiring, unsafe job sites)
- Struck-by accidents (falling debris, vehicle collisions)
- Overexertion injuries (back injuries, repetitive stress)
No matter how you were hurt, we’ll help you determine if you have a workers’ comp claim, a personal injury case, or both.
