RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION INJURY

Many construction workers incorrectly believe that “getting injured” is part of working in construction. However, construction companies and sub-contractors are required to maintain and enforce safety precautions to protect both their workers and the public. Serious, debilitating injuries occur on unsafe worksites. Many times, the injuries are life-altering.

Prior to the construction site injury that left him paralyzed, our client loved to hike with his family. Here, he is seen at one of his favorite hiking spots: Multnomah Falls.

Serious hazards must be marked to prevent workers and the public from encountering unsafe conditions and situations. The cause of most serious construction jobsite injuries and death: negligence.

Our client was working on a residential site in Columbia County, Oregon. A longtime construction worker, he was applying sheetrock when a large pile of improperly stacked drywall fell on him. He was thrown through a flimsy guardrail, headfirst, to the cement floor below. The injury he sustained left him paralyzed from the waist down.

He no longer enjoys the life he had prior to the accident. He can no longer work in construction, and he no longer enjoys hiking with his family. Our client requires daily care – and will for the rest of his life.

D’Amore Law Group secured a $1.8 million dollar award that will help the injured construction worker pay for his medical bills and the lifelong care that his disability requires.
