Many hardworking men and women in New Hampshire make a living in construction trades. From residential work to commercial buildings and municipal infrastructure, men and women in a range of different trades – such as electricians, carpenters, iron workers, laborers, masons, painters, sheet metal workers, and plumbers – support themselves and their families from these jobs that are essential to our communities. Unfortunately, there are many ways to get hurt on the job, including contact with machinery or other objects; falls from roofs, ladders, or scaffolding; falling debris and equipment; equipment malfunctions; forklift, crane, and other heavy equipment accidents; and welding incidents. In many cases, these incidents are caused by negligence, including improper maintenance of equipment, a lack of appropriate training, inadequate safety procedures and policies, inadequate supervision, or failure to communicate. Regardless of what caused your injuries, you need an experienced attorney on your side to help you navigate the complexities involved in pursuing a claim. There are usually several layers of individuals and entities that may be responsible for your injuries, including property owners, contractors, subcontractors, engineers, architects, and equipment manufacturers.
