Our dedicated Florida construction workers face serious injury every day as they build and maintain our roads, homes, offices and highways. This work is extremely dangerous because of constant exposures to heights, excavations, noise, dust, power tools, confined spaces, and electrical hazards.

Construction site operators and their contractors are required to provide a place of employment that is free from recognized hazards that cause or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm, according to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). Unfortunately, this is not always the case and construction accidents do occur.

Coral Gables-based Patino & Associates offers experienced representation for victims of construction accidents and their family members. We understand the risk of injury faced by air conditioning technicians, carpenters, carpet installers, cement masons, construction laborers, drywall installers, electricians, fence erectors, highway maintenance workers, painters, pile driver operators, pipefitters, plasterers, plumbers, roofing crews, sheet metal workers, stucco masons, tile and marble setters, and underground utility and excavation workers.

Our investigative team gets right to work to identify the cause of construction site accidents. We investigate all the parties involved (including architects, general contractors, engineers and material suppliers) to determine who is at fault.

Common causes of construction accidents include:

• Construction vehicles (bulldozer, backhoe, cherry picker, crane, tractor, truck)
• Electrical injuries or shock
• Excavations
• Explosions
• Falls
• Highway work zones
• Ladder failure
• Powered platforms, manlifts, and vehicle-mounted work platforms
• Scaffolding
• Scissor lifts
• Signs, signals and barricades
• Vehicle-mounted elevating and rotating work platforms
• Walking-working surfaces
• Wall and trench collapses
• Welding
