Construction sites in Miami buzz with activity, but one mishap can change your life in seconds. You’re left with pain, mounting medical expenses, and the fear of lost wages while you heal. Many injured workers in Florida struggle to get fair workers’ compensation benefits, especially when negligent contractors or property owners ignore safety rules.
Kaiser Romanello Accident & Injury Attorneys understand your fight. We stand by construction accident victims in Miami-Dade County, securing the compensation you need without upfront costs— we only get paid if you win. Our team brings authoritative expertise in personal injury claims tied to construction site accidents, helping you focus on recovery.
Common Causes of Serious Injuries on Miami Construction Sites
Construction work ranks among Florida’s riskiest jobs, with 91 worker deaths in 2022 alone—a 20% jump from prior years. Falls from scaffolding often top the list, causing about half of fatalities, according to OSHA data. In bustling areas like Miami Beach and Hialeah, heavy machinery mishaps add to the dangers.
Electrocution and falling objects also lead to severe harm. Faulty power tools or unsecured loads can strike without warning. Subcontractors and construction companies sometimes cut corners on safety equipment, turning routine days into tragedies.
- Falls from heights or scaffolding failures: A leading cause of construction site injuries in South Florida.
- Heavy equipment accidents: Involving cranes, forklifts, or excavators on busy sites.
- Electrocution risks: Often from exposed wires or improper grounding.
Why Claims Get Denied and How We Fight Back
Insurance companies often deny workers’ compensation claims, claiming the accident wasn’t work-related or injuries aren’t severe. This leaves you battling medical bills and pain and suffering without support. In Florida, where construction booms in Broward County and Fort Lauderdale, victims face added stress from tight deadlines.
Our Miami construction accident lawyers dig into OSHA violations to prove negligence. We handle everything from gathering evidence to negotiating tough settlements. Injured construction workers deserve more than just basic benefits— we pursue personal injury lawsuits against property owners or third parties when needed.
- Workers’ compensation hurdles: Denials for "insufficient proof" are common.
- Third-party liability: Against construction companies or subcontractors for extra compensation.
- Product liability claims: If defective heavy machinery caused the harm.
