Construction is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. Worker's compensation cases or personal injury claims can arise when a construction worker, bystander or nearby pedestrian or motorist is injured or killed in an accident. Serious and fatal construction accidents are often caused when an employer, property owner or other responsible party fails to correct a dangerous or unsafe condition.

Massachusetts Injury Attorney Jeffrey S. Glassman is a veteran attorney who has built a law office dedicated to fighting for rights of victims injured in all types of accidents, including construction and work accidents. At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Glassman, LLC, we do not settle for less. We do not back down. And we are not intimidated by the tactics of large corporations, their insurance companies and the attorneys who attempt to prevent them from being held accountable for their actions.

While we call them "accidents," construction injuries are frequently the result of a contractor, property owner, sub-contractor, equipment owner, or other party who fails to follow state and federal regulations or fails to provide proper safety gear or safe equipment at a job site.

Frequent causes of Massachusetts construction accidents include:

• Scaffolding Accidents
• Falls
• Crane Accidents
• Equipment Accidents
• Exposure to Dangerous Chemicals (including asbestos)
• Forklift or Heavy Equipment Accidents
• Lack of Proper Training
• Violation of State and Federal Regulations
• Lack of Safety Gear
• Poorly Maintained Equipment
• Faulty Building Materials
• Elevator Accidents
• Fire or Burn Injuries
• Untrained or Inexperienced Personnel

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Glassman LLC, we use all of the medical, legal and financial resources at our disposal to identify those responsible for your injuries and to hold them accountable for their actions.

Winning the maximum compensation you deserve frequently requires filing suit against multiple parties and insurance companies. For instance, an accident resulting from a collapsed scaffolding may be the fault of the scaffolding leasing company, the general contractor, the sub-contractor and even the property owner. Each party will have their own insurance company and each must be pursued for the compensation you and your family deserve for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation and disability services and other claims.
