Naples Construction Accident Attorney

Representing Injured Construction Workers in Naples

If you have suffered catastrophic injuries as a construction worker, you are not alone. The Federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration has recognized construction as the most dangerous industry in the country, accounting for nearly one out of five fatal work-related accidents every year. OSHA lists certain types of accidents as being the "Fatal Four," which include slip and fall accidents, electrocution, being struck by an object and being caught in or between objects such as heavy machinery or loads.

At Pittman Law Firm, P.L., we understand what a devastating impact an injury can have on the life of a construction worker. Not only do you have to live with the considerable pain and suffering from the injury, but your family may also have lost its primary source of income since your accident and during your recovery period.

In many cases the injuries can be devastating that the injured worker can no longer continue in the same line of work. Yet, the pay the injured worker earned in their line of work far exceeds or exceeded the pay available in the market place. The right team must be assembled to prove calculate and prove the financial losses due to the injury, loss of income, (past and future), as well as future medical care.

To make matters worse, you may have suffered an injury such as a severed or crushed limb or a spinal cord injury which has left you with a permanent disability which will forever make it difficult—or impossible—to earn the income you need. Fortunately, you have options for pursuing financial compensation to help support you and your loved ones.
