Construction accidents can’t be eliminated completely, but many job site injuries would be prevented if contractors and other employers followed the relevant federal regulations. If you’ve been hurt while working in construction, Feinberg & Alban PC will analyze your claim in light of the pertinent Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules.

Our attorneys make sure that full compensation is sought when OSHA rules have been violated.
