Macon Construction Accident Lawyers
Construction sites in Macon and throughout Middle Georgia are dynamic, hazardous environments. Falls from scaffolding, machinery accidents, crane collapses, trench cave-ins, electrocutions, and being struck by objects are among the leading causes of serious injuries on job sites. When safety protocols are ignored and workers or bystanders are hurt, Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. pursues every responsible party.
Construction accident cases often involve multiple liable parties — the general contractor, subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and safety inspectors. Our attorneys know how to investigate these complex cases and identify every potential source of recovery.
OSHA Violations and Your Case
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) establishes mandatory safety standards for construction sites. When employers violate OSHA standards — such as fall protection requirements (29 CFR 1926.502) or scaffolding regulations (29 CFR 1926.451) — those violations can support a finding of negligence in your civil case.
While workers' compensation covers injuries from your employer, Georgia law permits injured workers to pursue third-party negligence claims against parties other than their direct employer. This is common in construction cases where a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer contributed to the accident.
