Anyone who works in the construction industry knows just how dangerous the job is, with a long list of potentially lethal hazards facing them every day they go to work. Insecure scaffolding and ladders, exposed electricity, trucks, earth movers and other heavy machinery, power tools, trench collapse, crane collapse, lack of proper respiratory protection and careless, reckless or inexperienced crew members all pose an ever-present risk of catastrophic injury or death on a daily basis.

As a result, accidents are common, and many of them leave the worker permanently disabled or even dead. If you or a loved one was hurt while working on a construction accident, it's important to know that you have legal options. Contact our team at Farah Law to learn how our construction accident lawyers in El Paso can help you.
