Advocacy for Construction and Workplace Accidents in Washington state

At Menzer Law Group, we recognize the significant dangers that construction and other high-risk industries pose to their workers.

We have the experience and expert legal knowledge to successfully navigate these complexities and obtain fair and just compensation for our clients.

Understanding the Risks and Navigating the Legal Landscape

The construction industry is notorious for its inherent dangers, and workers are routinely exposed to numerous hazards, including:
  • Equipment Failures: Defective or poorly maintained machinery can lead to severe injuries.
  • Falls: Common in construction, especially from heights like scaffolding or ladders, often resulting in serious injuries or even fatalities.
  • Electrical Accidents: These include shocks and severe burn injuries from faulty equipment and live power lines, which can be life-threatening.
  • Structural Collapses: Unstable structures can collapse, causing catastrophic injuries to those nearby.
  • Toxic Exposure: Workers may be exposed to hazardous substances, leading to acute or chronic health issues.
