Hiring a lawyer isn’t the finish line – it’s the first step toward getting clarity, answers, and real progress. Once we take your case, here’s what happens next.

Investigate job site conditions and OSHA violations

We begin by launching an in-depth investigation into your case, focusing on what went wrong. This includes reviewing safety records, incident reports, and contractor logs. We also investigate OSHA violations and consult certified safety experts when needed. This allows us to understand how the accident happened and determine whether your employer, a subcontractor, or a third party violated safety rules that led to your injury.

Collect evidence and coordinate medical documentation

Strong cases are built on clear, thorough documentation. We work directly with your medical providers to understand your diagnosis, treatment plan, and how your injury impacts your ability to work and return to daily life.

Our Glendale workplace injury attorneys ensure all critical evidence is collected, giving you the best chance at fair compensation for your injuries.

Types of construction accidents we handle in Glendale, AZ

Our firm represents individuals injured in a wide range of construction accidents caused by negligent contractors, careless property owners, or faulty equipment manufacturers. We work to hold the responsible parties accountable and help our clients recover from catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, head injuries, broken bones, and other traumatic brain injuries.

Scaffolding and ladder falls: Falls from scaffolding and ladders are common on construction sites, often caused by poor setup, lack of guardrails, or missing fall protection. Contractors, site managers, or equipment providers may be held liable for these safety failures.
Electrocution and machinery failures: Electrocution accidents are common on sites with dangerous electrical wiring, ungrounded power sources, or defective tools. These incidents may involve electrocution caused by faulty equipment, and liability can extend to site owners, electricians, or manufacturers.
Struck-by and caught-in/between incidents: Getting hit by objects, such as falling debris or being crushed between equipment, are frequent causes of construction site injuries. Caught-in/between machinery incidents often result in amputation, spinal cord damage, or paralysis. These accidents are often linked to subcontractor or operator negligence.
Trench collapses and excavation hazards: Trench collapses and excavation accidents occur when protective systems are missing or trenches are improperly secured. These accidents can lead to exposure to hazardous conditions, as well as severe head injuries or spinal cord injuries. General contractors or site engineers may be held responsible for failing to maintain a safe working environment.
Heavy equipment accidents: Accidents involving cranes, bulldozers, or forklifts often occur due to improper training or equipment malfunction. Employers or third-party operators may be liable for these accidents, especially if equipment defects were involved.
Slip, trip, and fall injuries: Slip-and-fall accidents are common on construction sites due to poor lighting, spilled water, damaged carpet, or construction debris. Property owners or site supervisors can be held liable for unsafe walking areas, which can cause scarring or even broken bones and head injuries.

Injuries that may qualify for a construction accident claim in Glendale

Construction site injuries often go far beyond scrapes and bruises. When safety is ignored and serious harm results, you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim, especially if the injury affects your ability to work, move, or live normally.

Below are some of the injury types we handle most often in construction-related cases:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and spinal cord damage: Often caused by falls, falling debris, or machinery impact. These life-altering injuries may require lifelong care and rehabilitation.
Amputations, crush injuries, and severe burns: Common in equipment-related accidents or electrical incidents. These injuries can result in permanent disability and loss of earning ability.
Paralysis or reduced mobility: May result from spinal trauma or nerve damage. These cases often involve long-term medical costs and significant lifestyle changes.
Fractures, dislocations, and torn ligaments: Caused by ladder falls, slips, or struck-by events. Even non-catastrophic injuries can lead to months off work and costly treatment.
Internal organ damage and chronic pain: Harder to see but just as serious. These injuries are often caused by blunt-force trauma or repeated strain and can impact health long after the accident.

Not sure if your injury qualifies? We’ll review it and explain your options, no pressure. Contact us immediately.

Who can be held legally responsible for a Glendale construction site accident?

Construction sites involve many moving parts, and multiple parties can be held responsible when safety responsibilities are neglected or violated. Our attorneys take a close look at what went wrong and identify everyone who played a role in causing your injury.

Employers and general contractors: Liable for unsafe work conditions, poor supervision, or failure to follow safety standards.
Subcontractors and vendors: Held responsible when poor workmanship, unsafe materials, or improper installations contribute to the accident.
Equipment manufacturers: Accountable when defective tools or poorly designed machinery lead to injuries.
Property owners and developers: Liable for dangerous site conditions, poor maintenance, or failure to ensure a safe environment.

What compensation is available for injured construction workers in Arizona?

After a serious construction accident, injured workers may be entitled to several forms of financial recovery, including compensation for medical bills, lost income, and long-term impacts on their life and health. The total recovery depends on the severity of injuries, how the accident happened, and who is legally responsible.

Economic damages: Cover tangible losses such as hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and reduced earning capacity.
Non-economic damages: Compensate for pain, suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
Wrongful death damages: Apply when negligence results in a fatal construction injury. These cover funeral expenses and the loss of future financial support for surviving family members.
Punitive damages: May be awarded in rare cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, such as repeated safety violations or willfully dangerous work conditions.

Most claims involve economic and non-economic damages, but we review every case for potential punitive exposure.

When does third-party liability apply to a construction accident case?

Most injured construction workers file a workers’ compensation claim through their employer. But in some cases, another company not your employer, may be legally responsible for what happened. That’s where third-party liability comes in.

A third-party claim applies when:

Another company caused or contributed to your injury (e.g., faulty equipment or subcontractor mistakes).
You were injured while working on someone else’s property with unsafe conditions.
Your accident involved multiple crews or contractors from different companies.
You’re an independent contractor, not covered by workers’ compensation.

Third-party claims can provide significantly more financial recovery than workers’ comp, including compensation for pain, suffering, and future losses. We’ll review your situation to see whether you qualify and explain how the two claims can work together.

Workers’ compensation or personal injury claim? Get legal clarity in Glendale

If you were hurt on a construction site, you might not know which type of claim applies to your case, and that’s completely normal. Some workers are limited to workers’ compensation. Others may have a personal injury or third-party claim. In some cases, both paths apply.

Here’s how they differ:

Feature	Worker’s Compensation	Personal Injury/Third-Party Claim
Fault required	No	Yes, must prove negligence
Non-economic damages	Not available	Available (pain & suffering, emotional distress)
Settlement potential	Limited	Often higher
Statute of limitations	Shorter Deadline	Standard personal injury deadline

How long do you have to file a construction accident claim in Arizona?

You have two years to file a construction accident claim in Arizona, starting from the date of the injury. Missing the deadline can end your right to recover damages, even if your case is strong.

However, some situations follow different rules, including:

Delayed injuries: If your injuries weren’t obvious right away, the clock may start when they were diagnosed (late discovery rule).
Minors and incapacitated individuals: Time limits may be paused until the person is legally able to file.
Workers’ compensation claims: These have shorter, separate filing deadlines under Arizona law.

Every case has its own timing. A Glendale construction accident attorney can review your timeline and help you understand exactly how much time you have left before it’s too late to act.

FAQs about Glendale construction accident claims

Can I sue my employer after a construction site injury?

Usually no. Arizona law limits claims against employers to workers’ comp. But if your employer acted with gross negligence or a third party was involved, a personal injury claim may still apply.

What if I’m partly at fault for the accident?

Yes, you can still recover compensation. Arizona follows comparative negligence, meaning your payout is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you remain eligible for damages if another party shares responsibility.

Do independent contractors qualify for compensation?

It varies. Independent contractors generally aren’t covered by workers’ comp but may file personal injury claims if a subcontractor, property owner, or manufacturer’s negligence caused the construction accident.

How much does it cost to hire a construction accident lawyer?

Hiring our firm costs nothing upfront. We work on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning you only pay if we secure compensation for your construction injury claim.

Can property damage be included in a construction accident claim?

Yes. Property damage, such as destroyed tools, equipment, or vehicles, can be included in a Glendale construction accident claim when it’s tied to the same negligence that caused your injury.
