Joliet Construction Site Accident Lawyer
Construction Site Accident Injury Attorney Will County, IL
By its very nature, a construction site is typically a dangerous place. Large vehicles and machinery, unsafe building materials and unsecured objects are just some of the obstacles that pose danger to workers and bystanders alike. While construction workers may follow safety guidelines, accidents happen, often causing severe and catastrophic injuries.
In Illinois, injured construction workers are not limited to recovery from the state workers’ compensation act. At Leiter Law Offices, our team will diligently investigate all avenues of recovery when you or your loved one has been hurt on a construction site.
