Knoxville Construction Injury Lawyers
Construction can be one of the most dangerous jobs, involving long hours and strenuous work under hazardous conditions. When serious injuries occur, we work hard to hold employers and other parties accountable for full compensation. The Hurley Law Firm, P.C. has a strong reputation as advocates for construction accident victims.
Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, we represent injured construction workers of Knox County and the surrounding counties of East Tennessee. If medical bills are piling up and you cannot work because of a construction accident or industrial accident, contact us today for a free consultation.
Skilled and Dedicated to Recovering Damages
We have handled all manner of construction accidents:
- Falling accidents (roof, ladder, scaffolding)
- Disabling back, neck or shoulder injuries from lifting
- Falling or flying objects
- Fires and explosions
- Electrocutions
- Trench collapses
- Structural collapses
- Heavy equipment or machinery accidents
- On-duty vehicle accidents
If you were seriously injured, we fight to help you receive full entitlements under Tennessee workers' compensation law. We can file or appeal claims for total disability (unable to return to your job) or permanent partial disability (lasting injury to part of your body), and any other benefits.
Third Party Claims
You may have a lawsuit for damages beyond workers' compensation if someone other than your boss or co-worker was negligent — a contractor or subcontractor on the same job site, the property owner, a product manufacturer or the driver of another vehicle. Our experienced trial lawyer, D. Scott Hurley, has a solid track record in complex litigation, including construction accidents:
- We represented four men who were working on a 50,000-square-foot metal building. High winds knocked frames into them and caused the building to collapse. Miraculously, no one died, but our clients were severely injured. In hotly contested, drawn out litigation involving several defendants, Scott was pitted against skilled insurance company lawyers. He eventually prevailed, obtaining a large monetary settlement for the workers.
- When freshly mixed concrete literally exploded into the face and eyes of another client, he suffered permanent vision loss and other injuries. We sued the Japanese manufacturer of the volatile product, which required bringing a claim under the Hauge Convention for international litigation.
