Construction Accident

Shreveport Construction Accident Lawyers

If you were hurt in a construction accident, you may be able to recover more money than workers' compensation provides. If your injury was caused by a third party - someone other than your employer like a subcontractor - our attorneys can help you file a personal injury lawsuit against the person who caused your injury.

Contact our firm for a free consultation of your case. Through a personal injury lawsuit, you can secure the compensation you deserve and need after a serious on-site construction accident.

At Weems, Schimpf, Gilsoul, Haines, Landry & Carmouche, our lawyers have successfully filed personal injury lawsuits against equipment manufacturers, contractors, subcontractors, and other third parties who have negligently caused injuries to construction workers.

By filing a personal injury lawsuit, you can seek money for pain and suffering and other damages not covered by workers' compensation.

We handle construction accident and workplace injury cases involving:

• Car accidents that occurred on the job
• Defective manufacturing equipment or products
• Defective ladders and scaffolding
• Dangerous chemicals
• Missing equipment guards or safety gear
• Negligence of other contractors working at the same job site

Over the past 25 years, our firm has been successful in handling cases where jobsite accidents resulted in neck and head injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and other serious injuries:

We obtained several hundred thousand dollars in compensation for a man who shattered his ankle after falling from the third floor of the building where he was working. The accident occurred after a glass subcontractor negligently removed a safety rail. Our lawyers successfully sued the glass subcontractor and another contractor for causing our client's injuries.

Our lawyers also obtained $1 million in a wrongful death case on behalf of the family members of a man who died when a conveyor belt collapsed at a lignite mine in Desoto Parish. Our record of success for favorable construction accident settlements and verdicts has helped us build a strong reputation at the negotiating table and in the courtroom.
