You Weren't On the Job. You Shouldn't Be On the Hook.

Multiple Companies, One Negligent Site

The general contractor, the subcontractor that hung the scaffolding, the equipment rental company, the traffic-control firm, the property owner — any of them could be why you got hurt. We investigate every layer until we find the responsible parties.

Their Insurer Will Blame You First

'Why were you so close to the site?' 'Didn't you see the cones?' Their goal is to make this your fault. Our goal is to prove the site failed its legal duty to keep the public safe — through inadequate barricades, unsafe equipment, or violated permit conditions.

Site Evidence Disappears in Days

The barricade gets fixed. The dangerous equipment gets removed. The unsafe scaffold gets taken down. We act fast to photograph, document, and preserve the conditions that caused your injury before the site cleans itself up.

What You Need to Know

I was just walking past the construction site. Do I really have a case?

Yes. Florida law requires construction sites to maintain reasonable safety measures to protect the public — adequate barricades, warning signs, properly secured materials, and supervised work zones. When a site fails those duties and someone passing by gets hurt, the responsible parties can be held liable. Pedestrian, driver, and bystander injuries are common third-party construction claims.

Who can I sue for a construction-site injury if I don't work there?

Depending on what happened, your claim may target the general contractor, a subcontractor, the property owner, an equipment manufacturer, a tool or scaffolding rental company, or the traffic-control firm hired to manage the work zone. We investigate every potentially liable party so no one slips through.

What if I was driving past a construction zone when the accident happened?

Work-zone vehicle accidents are a major source of third-party construction claims. If improper signage, inadequate lane markings, equipment in the roadway, dust obstructing visibility, or a flagging-crew error contributed to the crash, you may have a case against the contractor, the traffic-control company, and any other party responsible for the zone's safety.

I was hit by falling debris from above. Who pays?

Falling object injuries are among the most serious. Liability typically rests with the contractor doing the overhead work, the company that supplied the unsecured materials, and sometimes the property owner. Building codes and OSHA standards both require netting, debris shields, or pedestrian tunnels — when those are missing or inadequate, that's strong evidence of negligence.

How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?

Florida's statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of the accident. Construction-site cases are time-sensitive because evidence — barricades, equipment, site conditions — gets remediated quickly. The earlier you contact us, the more we can preserve.

What damages can I recover from a construction-site injury?

Past and future medical expenses, lost income while you recover, reduced future earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in catastrophic cases, lifetime care costs. We work with economists and life-care planners to make sure the settlement covers what your injury will actually cost — not just what's been spent so far.
