Protecting Injured Workers and Bystanders When Safety Falls Short

What You Need to Know About Construction Accidents in Massachusetts

Construction accident claims often involve more than just workers’ compensation. If a third party—such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or negligent driver—contributed to your injuries, you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.

These cases can include:


  • Falls from scaffolding or ladders
  • Electrical injuries
  • Crane or heavy machinery accidents
  • Falling objects
  • Unsafe jobsite conditions


Massachusetts typically allows three years to file a personal injury claim, but evidence disappears quickly. The sooner you get legal help, the stronger your case.
