Yuma Construction Accident Attorney 

Why choose us?

Choosing a law firm after a construction accident is an important decision. You are dealing with real concerns about medical bills, lost wages, and your future ability to work. You likely want a team that understands both Arizona personal injury law and the realities of construction work in and around Yuma.

Our firm focuses only on personal injury cases for Arizona clients. That means every part of our practice is built around helping injured people, including construction workers and their families. We regularly handle cases involving severe and catastrophic injuries, so we understand how an accident can affect your body, your earning capacity, and your everyday life.

We also make a deliberate choice to limit the number of cases we accept. This approach allows our attorneys and staff to spend more time getting to know you, your job, and your medical needs, rather than treating your claim as just another file. When we represent an injured construction worker, our goal is to build a clear picture of how the accident has affected you, then work to pursue compensation that reflects your losses and future needs.

Accessibility matters as well. Our team is bilingual in English and Spanish, which is especially important for many workers and families in this part of Arizona. We are available 24/7, so you can reach out when it is safe and convenient for you, not just during business hours. Because we work on a contingency fee basis, you do not pay us upfront. Our payment is tied to recovering compensation for you, which helps reduce financial strain while you recover.

Steps To Protect Yourself

Right after a construction accident, it is common to feel overwhelmed or unsure of what to do. You may be worried about your job, your health, and what to tell your employer or an insurance adjuster. While every situation is different, there are practical steps that often help protect both your health and your potential legal rights.

Get Medical Care & Report The Accident

Your health should come first. Seek medical attention as soon as you can, whether that is from emergency services, a local hospital, or a treating doctor. Some injuries, such as head trauma, internal injuries, or back problems, may not be fully obvious right away. A medical evaluation helps protect your well-being and also creates a record of your injuries.

It is usually important to report the accident to your supervisor or employer, following any workplace procedures. When you report the incident, note the date, time, and who you spoke with, and keep any written forms or emails. This information can matter later if there is any disagreement about how or when the injury occurred.

Preserve Information & Protect Your Rights

If it is safe to do so, it can help to gather basic information about what happened. This might include photographs of the area where you were hurt, the equipment involved, and any visible hazards such as debris or missing guardrails. If coworkers saw what happened, you may want to write down their names and contact information so they can be reached later if needed.

Be careful about what you say to insurance adjusters or company representatives before you understand your rights. Adjusters may ask for recorded statements or for you to sign forms that affect your ability to pursue additional compensation. You do not have to navigate those conversations alone. When you contact our team, we can discuss your situation, explain how workers’ compensation and potential third-party claims may interact, and help you avoid decisions that could limit your recovery.

Common Construction Accidents & Injuries

Construction work around Yuma often involves heavy machinery, elevated work areas, electrical systems, and constantly changing job sites. These conditions can create serious risks when safety measures are not followed or when equipment fails. Our attorneys handle a wide range of construction-related accidents, and we understand how quickly something can go wrong on a busy site.

Who May Be Liable For A Construction Accident

Many injured workers are told that workers’ compensation is their only option. While workers’ compensation can be an important source of medical and wage benefits, it is not always the end of the story. In some construction accidents, there may be additional claims against third parties whose negligence contributed to the incident.

Potentially Responsible Parties

Depending on the facts, potentially responsible parties might include a property owner who failed to correct a dangerous condition, a general contractor who did not enforce safety rules, a subcontractor whose employees created a hazard, or a company responsible for maintaining or inspecting equipment. In some cases, a manufacturer of defective tools, machinery, or safety gear may bear responsibility. When accidents involve vehicles that enter or pass near the job site, a negligent driver or their employer may also be involved.
