Personal Injury

Injury cases connected to construction sites are rarely straightforward. Responsibility may extend beyond a direct employer to subcontractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers.

I represent individuals injured in construction-related incidents across St. Tammany Parish, Orleans Parish, and Jefferson Parish, focusing on identifying all responsible parties.

Third-Party Claims on Job Sites

Workers are often limited in claims against their direct employer due to workers’ compensation laws. However, third-party claims may still be available.

These can include:

• Subcontractor negligence (e.g., unsafe work conditions, equipment misuse)
• Manufacturer liability for defective tools or machinery
• Premises liability for unsafe site conditions
  
  

These claims allow recovery beyond workers’ compensation benefits.

Common Construction Site Hazards

Many injuries result from preventable conditions, such as:

• Crane or heavy equipment accidents
• Unsafe scaffolding or structural failures
• Exposed wiring or unguarded openings
  
  

I evaluate how the incident occurred and whether proper safety standards were followed.

Homeowner Injury Claims

Construction defects can also lead to personal injury within a home.

This includes:

• Toxic mold exposure causing respiratory illness
• Structural failures such as collapsing decks or ceilings
• Fires caused by improper electrical work
  
  

In these cases, the claim is not only about the defect, but the injury it caused.

A Focus on Full Recovery

Personal injury claims require identifying all sources of liability and pursuing compensation for medical costs, lost income, and long-term impact.

I approach these cases with a focus on the facts and the full scope of damages.
