Since 1958, the legendary Beasley Philadelphia construction accident law firm has led the pack representing individuals and the families of those who were catastrophically injured or killed as a result of a construction related accident. Our nationally renowned construction accident lawyers have been awarded over $2 billion and have secured many of the nation’s largest settlements and verdicts with hundreds of them exceeding $1 million.
Construction Accident Causes and Consequences
Last year, there were in excess of 4,300 fatal work injuries in the United States and tens of thousands of catastrophic construction site injuries. Many times, construction site accidents are related to violations of codes, negligence of third parties and equipment failures.
Construction accidents may occur due to unsafe work conditions; structural failure or collapse; mechanical hazards; dangerous, defective, or improperly maintained machinery; improper supervision; lack of guards, railings, or protective equipment; or other factors. Far too many construction workers are injured or killed because of compressed gas hazards; chemical exposure; wall, trench, scaffold, or ceiling collapse; defective ladders; crane failures; forklift accidents; slip and fall accidents; fall accidents; and other incidents. Construction site accidents most often leave the victims and their families in a life altering state. It is difficult to deal with devastating financial and emotional situations while coping with permanent injuries or even death.
Strong Legal Representation in the Face of Obstacles
Under Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, the general contractor has a duty to inspect the worksite and maintain a safe work environment. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. The experienced Philadelphia construction injury lawyers at the Beasley law firm have been representing the interests of construction site injury victims and their families for over 50 years and is the law firm that many lawyers and judges turn to when it is time to represent their personal interests or the interests of their loved ones. The Beasley construction accident lawyers have represented thousands of construction workers and their families after they have sustained life altering injuries or deaths. Their record of success is well documented in the highly acclaimed and published book “Courtroom Cowboy” where Jim Beasley’s core philosophy is quoted and summarized: “Never take S–T from anybody and that includes a judge.”
We recognize the other law firms talk a good game but we have the actual results and client testimonials gathered over 50 years to prove that our lawyers actually take the walk with our clients to make sure that justice is achieved.
Leaders in Injury and Accident Litigation
All of the Beasley lawyers and construction accident legal team members are greedy for justice and will not leave any stone unturned when we represent an injured construction accident victim. The Beasley catastrophic accident and wrongful death lawyers are not afraid to take on anybody whether it is boxing promoter Don King who referred to Mr. Beasley as “one big mother F—er”, fugitive killer Ira Einhorn, or even terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. We have successfully litigated the rights of our clients against some of the world’s largest corporations and believe in continuing the “legend” one case at a time.
