At Commander+Pound, you will find a law firm experienced in representing clients seriously injured on or near construction sites and from crane accidents or other injuries caused by heavy equipment and falling debris.

Commander+Pound does not handle worker's compensation cases but has years of experience representing motorists, customers, pedestrians and other clients who have been injured at or around negligent construction sites.

Construction and crane injuries are another area of injury law that requires complex knowledge of medical issues and experience dealing with large corporations and the extensive regulation of the heavy-equipment and construction industry by the government.

Injuries at construction sites often happen because of unsafe conditions; malfunctioning, dangerous or improperly operated equipment; or through violation of safety standards and other regulations in place to protect the general public.

Construction companies and large corporations have a duty to provide the reasonable expectation of safety to members of the public who may come into contact with a construction site.

Death or serious injuries often result from falling cranes, falling objects or other construction-related injuries. Complex medical issues often result, including broken bones, impaired motor skills, burns, loss or mangled limbs, spinal-cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries.

On the legal side, such cases often require taking on large corporations with access to outstanding specialized legal representation.

Seeking compensation on your behalf can require making a claim against property owners, construction companies, engineers, designers, planners, architects, insurance companies, consultants, inspectors and equipment manufacturers.
