Construction Site Accidents

Michigan Construction Site Accident Attorneys

Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in Michigan. Falls from scaffolding and ladders, equipment malfunctions, electrocution, struck-by incidents, trench collapses, and exposure to hazardous materials cause thousands of serious injuries every year. While workers' compensation provides some benefits, it often falls far short of covering the full impact of a catastrophic construction injury.

Koussan Law represents construction workers and bystanders injured at construction sites throughout Michigan. We identify third-party liability claims — against general contractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, and subcontractors — to pursue the full compensation these cases deserve.

Third-Party Claims vs. Workers' Compensation

Workers' comp covers medical expenses and a portion of lost wages but does not compensate for pain and suffering. When a party other than your employer contributed to the accident — a negligent general contractor, a defective equipment manufacturer, a property owner who failed to maintain safe conditions — you may have a third-party personal injury claim that provides significantly greater compensation.
