Michigan Construction Site Injury Lawyers

If you live in Michigan, you know that our state is notorious for construction year-round. Some even joke that our state flower is the orange cone. However, construction zone injuries are no joke. Construction zones can be incredibly dangerous, and when someone is hurt because a contractor, subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer failed to keep a site safe, the consequences can be life-changing. At Krall Law Offices, our goal is to help injured workers and non-workers pursue justice through personal injury and third-party liability claims.

**Note: We do not handle workers’ compensation claims.

Why Construction Site Injuries Happen

Construction sites involve heavy machinery, uneven ground, elevated work areas, and electrical systems. Even a small lapse in safety can cause devastating injuries. We represent clients involved in a multitude of accidents.

Common Construction Site Accidents

Falls from roofs, ladders, scaffolding, or elevated platforms
Heavy equipment accidents (forklifts, cranes, loaders, dump trucks)
Electrocution and electrical system failures
Falling objects or debris
Trench and ground collapses
Dangerous premises or poorly marked hazards
Unsafe construction zones affecting pedestrians or drivers

If your injury happened because someone outside your employer acted negligently, a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, general contractor, or property owner, you may be entitled to compensation.

Third-Party Construction Accident Claims in Michigan

Many people believe that all construction-related injuries fall under workers’ compensation. That’s not true. You may have a valid personal injury claim if your harm was caused by:

A negligent subcontractor or independent contractor
A property owner who failed to maintain a safe environment
A manufacturer of defective tools, machinery, or safety equipment
A driver who caused a crash inside or near a construction zone
Any third party whose actions or inactions contributed to your injury

Compensation for Third-Party Claims

These claims can provide compensation for:

Pain and suffering
Medical expenses
Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Emotional distress
Long-term care needs

At Krall Law Offices, we investigate every angle so no liable party goes unnoticed.

Michigan Construction Site Injuries Affect More Than Workers

Construction zones can be dangerous for anyone nearby, and we have seen this firsthand.

For months, the new St. Clair Shores fire station has been under construction right next to our office. Thankfully they have maintained a safe zone, but we’ve watched through our windows as the site progressed from a foundation to a full building. Heavy equipment, open trenches, and fluctuating conditions can make construction zones unpredictable and hazardous.

Our proximity to active construction serves as a daily reminder of the risks these environments pose to:

Pedestrians
Nearby businesses
Local residents
Drivers navigating lane shifts or poorly marked detours

No matter how your injury happened, we’re prepared to stand by your side.
