Thorough Injury Representation After A Construction Site Accident

Construction accidents can be a particularly complicated area of personal injury law. There are a lot of various factors that can contribute to your injury, who can be held responsible and how you can get compensated. These types of accidents often differ from typical work injury cases as there is sometimes a third party involved that can be held liable.

Third parties like other drivers, contractors, equipment manufacturers, construction vehicles and even local governments may also need to be held responsible for an injury. Mr. Wooley can help you file a claim, sort through your options and assist in making sure you receive the proper compensation from the right parties.
