Construction Accident Defense Lawyers
Construction accidents often involve life-changing injuries, wrongful death and extensive property damage. Because damages can easily run into the millions of dollars, it is imperative for those facing construction accident claims to seek out experienced legal representation.
Representing Clients in Complex Litigation
The attorneys of O'Connor, McGuinness, Conte, Doyle and Oleson have decades of experience successfully defending clients in construction accident claims.
Construction cases may involve labor law, general negligence statutes and contract law. These cases involve complex litigation with claims and counterclaims flying asserted by the plaintiff, numerous defendants and third-party defendants.
Sorting Out the Tangle of Contract Obligations
In a construction project, contractors, subcontractors, builders, construction managers, equipment leasing companies and other businesses all have contracts with each other that include indemnification clauses.
Our attorneys carefully review each case, analyzing all the contractual relationships among the various parties and identifying the responsibilities involved. By interpreting contract and insurance policy language, we are frequently able to prove that another party is fully or partially liable for damages. We may also be able to show that our client is covered as an additional insured under another policy.
Our firm can defend you in the initial construction accident claim or appeal a trial court verdict. In either case, you can expect quality legal representation, aggressive defense of your interests, and exceptional client service throughout the legal process.
