Construction work keeps Clinton growing but also creates serious safety risks for workers and the general public. Whether you were hired to work on a site or simply passed through the area, a single lapse in safety protocols can lead to devastating injury. A Clinton construction site accident lawyer at Foran & Foran, P.A., can help you identify who is responsible and what type of claim you may pursue.

Maryland law allows both employees and non-workers to seek compensation after a preventable construction-related injury. These cases often involve multiple parties, overlapping responsibilities, and pressure from insurance carriers to accept a fast settlement. Our attorneys review contracts, safety logs, and site plans to hold the proper individuals and companies accountable.

If you are an employee injured on a construction site, your first step is likely a workers' compensation claim. These benefits may cover:

• Medical treatment related to the injury;
• A portion of your lost wages; and
• Temporary or permanent disability benefits.

However, workers’ comp usually does not pay for pain and suffering or future earning capacity. If a third party—like a contractor, equipment provider, or property owner—contributed to the accident, you may also have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit. Our attorneys can explain how these claims interact and ensure no recovery source is missed.

Construction zones are not limited to workers. Nearby businesses, homes, and sidewalks often bring everyday people into dangerous proximity. A falling tool, unsecured scaffold, or exposed wiring can cause life-altering harm to someone without connection to the job site. If you were injured as a bystander or visitor, your claim will likely fall under general personal injury law rather than workers' compensation.

A Clinton construction accident attorney can determine whether the property owner, general contractor, or another party failed to protect you from foreseeable hazards.

Construction sites demand constant attention to safety. When corners are cut, people get hurt. Some of the most common causes of construction site injuries include:

• Inadequate fall protection or broken ladders;
• Faulty power tools or machinery malfunctions;
• Poorly marked hazard zones;
• Exposure to toxic chemicals or fumes; and
• Collapsing trenches or unstable scaffolding.

These failures may violate local building codes or federal OSHA regulations. When they do, the responsible party may be financially accountable for your injuries and related losses.

Work performed at height carries inherent risk. If scaffolding is improperly anchored, overloaded, or built on unstable ground, workers and pedestrians below are at serious risk. Even short-distance falls can cause brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or internal trauma. Our firm has experience handling fall cases from both the perspective of injured workers and members of the public.

Some injuries result from dangers you cannot see. Carbon monoxide poisoning, for example, may occur due to the use of fuel-burning equipment in confined or poorly ventilated spaces. If you lost consciousness, suffered lung damage, or experienced long-term health consequences due to chemical exposure on or near a construction site, Foran & Foran will investigate the site conditions and applicable safety rules.

Construction accident claims involve multiple parties and tight deadlines. You need a legal team that understands local building safety regulations and can push back against large insurers. Foran & Foran, P.A. offers hands-on support from start to finish. We are available for home or hospital visits and only collect a fee if we win.
