Construction sites pose unique hazards for workers.  Each year, accidents at construction sites claim the lives of hundreds of construction workers, with falls, electrical shock and falls constituting roughly half of all fatalities. Falls frequently occur from roofs, scaffolds, ladders and open floors, while electrical shocks occur when cranes, ladders or the worker comes in contact with overhead wires.

If you've been injured or a loved one has been killed at a construction site, Stephen Bilkis & Associates can help you secure the compensation that you deserve.  We can investigate your claim and seek monetary damages from those responsible, including contractors, building owners, architects and equipment manufacturers.

Because construction is such a hazardous trade, federal and state laws strictly regulate workplace safety at construction sites. If you've been injured on a job site, the general contractor or your employer may has have failed to protect your safety in accordance with the law. Perhaps, the contractor did not follow prescribed safety precautions.  Or, perhaps you were operating machinery that was defectively designed or not properly maintained. Whatever the reason, we are ready to protect your interests and help you claim the benefits and compensation that you are owed.
