What Is Your Carrollton Construction Accident Case Worth?
The value of a construction accident case varies based on several factors. The severity and impact of your injuries will play a major role in the value of your case. In addition to the medical expenses related to your injuries, you will need to calculate the value of all your damages to determine the proper value of your construction accident claim. We can help you identify and evaluate all your damages.
What Types of Damages Are Available After a Construction Accident?

Common Construction Accident CausesThat We See at Our Practice

- Breach of duty: The defendant breached their duty by not providing a reasonable standard of care.
- Causation: The breach of duty caused the accident.
- Damages: The plaintiff suffered damages because of the accident.
Common accidents on construction sites involve:
- Unsecured construction materials fell
- Electric shocks
- Hazardous or toxic chemical spills
- Slips and falls
- Trench or ground collapse
No matter how careful you are, there are numerous risks and dangers on a construction site. Regardless of how you are injured, it is helpful to contact our firm serving Carrollton construction accident victims. Your lawyer can investigate the cause of the accident and determine liability. If someone’s negligence caused your injuries, they should be held accountable.
