New Hampshire construction accidents have myriad causes, ranging from electrocution from open wires to explosions or fires to falling equipment to slip and fall injuries and more. Though their causes vary widely, the effects can be brutal for all involved – often, the victim must not only miss work, but will accrue significant medical bills related to their paralysis, brain injury, burns, disfigurement, broken bones, etc. Prognoses vary from patient to patient, but all too many workers injured in construction accidents find themselves in need of vocational or other rehabilitation in order to return to a productive role in the economy.

Workers rightfully rely on their employers to create a safe working environment. Unfortunately, lack of training, miscalibrated or poorly maintained equipment, and plain user error can cause unforeseen problems and present a significant risk to workers. The law allows the victim of a construction accident caused by someone else’s negligence or lack of care to legally seek remedies in the form of monetary damages designed to offset the costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation, ongoing care, and even compensate for pain and suffering and lost wages.
