Construction work carries risks, but most serious injuries come from safety failures—not the job itself. Shortcuts, subcontractor negligence, or faulty equipment often lie at the root.
At Goldman Babboni Fernandez Murphy & Walsh (Justice Pays), our attorneys have handled some of Florida’s most complex construction accident claims. Whether your injury happened on a high-rise project, a roadside crew, or a residential build, our legal team knows how to hold the right parties accountable and recover the compensation workers and families deserve.
Many clients come to us after being told “your only option is workers’ comp.” But when your injury was caused by a third-party subcontractor, a negligent equipment supplier, or a property owner who failed to maintain safe conditions, you may have a separate legal claim that allows you to recover far more than medical bills.
We investigate construction accidents with one goal: to find out what went wrong, who’s responsible, and how to prove it. Our attorneys work with OSHA experts, site engineers, and medical specialists to build detailed, evidence-backed cases that withstand legal scrutiny.
Falls remain one of the leading causes of serious injury and death on construction sites. Whether it’s a fall from scaffolding, unguarded rooftops, improperly secured ladders, or open shafts, these incidents often result from OSHA violations or failed fall protection systems. Injured workers are frequently left with spinal injuries, fractures, or traumatic brain injuries—injuries that require long-term care.
At Justice Pays, our attorneys investigate site safety protocols, maintenance records, and subcontractor responsibilities to determine who failed in their duty to protect workers. We don’t stop at workers’ comp—we pursue third-party claims when general contractors, site managers, or vendors cut corners on safety.
From forklift rollovers to crane collapses and defective power tools, machinery-related accidents often stem from inadequate training, missing safety guards, or poor equipment maintenance. These cases are complex and often involve multiple parties—operators, equipment owners, rental companies, or manufacturers.
Our firm has handled cases where workers were crushed, amputated, or severely injured due to mechanical failure or human error. Our attorneys build these claims using forensic equipment analysis, expert witnesses, and worksite safety audits to identify where protocols broke down—and who can be held accountable.
Live wires, overloaded circuits, and poorly grounded temporary power lines create hidden hazards that can cause severe electrical burns, arc flash injuries, or electrocution. These accidents often involve utility contractors, property owners, or general contractors who failed to coordinate power sources or secure hazardous areas.
The legal team at Justice Pays works with electrical engineers and safety experts to trace the origin of the hazard, whether it was caused by a negligent subcontractor, code violation, or lack of proper lockout/tagout procedures. Our goal is to fully document the injury’s cause and its long-term impact—both medically and financially.
Being struck by falling tools, collapsing structures, or moving vehicles is one of the most dangerous types of construction accidents. Equally serious are caught-in/between incidents, where workers are pinned between machinery, walls, or unstable materials. These injuries often involve broken bones, internal trauma, and long-term disability.
These cases demand fast, focused legal action. Our attorneys investigate whether safety zones were marked, equipment was operated within standards, or loads were properly secured. When contractors violate site protocols or ignore OSHA guidelines, we build the evidence needed to prove fault and secure full compensation.
When trenches cave in, walls collapse, or flooring gives way, the damage can be catastrophic. Many of these accidents result from a lack of shoring, poor inspections, or rushed construction schedules. Hazardous debris, unsecured materials, and unstable terrain also contribute to serious site-related injuries.
Justice Pays attorneys have extensive experience uncovering patterns of neglect in site management, code compliance, and contractor oversight. These are not just accidents—they’re often the result of avoidable failures. Our team ensures those failures are exposed, and the responsible parties held accountable.
Construction sites are complex environments with dozens of moving parts. When supervision fails—whether it’s ignoring safety briefings, allowing unqualified workers on-site, or failing to enforce regulations—serious injuries are almost inevitable.
We’ve handled cases involving everything from unauthorized equipment use to unsafe work sequences and expired certifications. Our attorneys dive into contractor agreements, safety logs, and incident reports to uncover the negligence behind the scenes. In these cases, it’s often what didn’t happen—what wasn’t checked, enforced, or communicated—that reveals the most.
Construction injury claims are some of the most complex cases we handle—not because the harm isn’t clear, but because liability is intentionally blurred. By the time an injured worker starts asking questions, site managers, subcontractors, insurers, and corporate risk teams have already started closing ranks.
These cases often involve overlapping contracts, unclear chains of command, and safety violations that are buried fast. Without an experienced legal team, it’s easy for victims to be pushed into lowball settlements—or worse, shut out completely.
At Justice Pays, our trial lawyers don’t just identify who’s responsible—we uncover how systems failed, where corners were cut, and what should’ve been done to protect you. With decades of experience in worksite injury and wrongful death litigation, we know how to pressure the parties that make the real decisions, not just the ones who show up on paper.
This isn’t just about filing a claim. It’s about building a case strong enough to stand up in court—because that’s what makes serious defendants pay attention.
After a serious construction injury, you’re often left juggling medical treatment, lost income, and an avalanche of paperwork—medical records, insurance forms, employer reports, and more. At Justice Pays, we take that burden off your shoulders. Our team handles every document, deadline, and negotiation so you can focus on healing while we focus on protecting your rights. From the first call to the final resolution, you’ll have a dedicated team managing the chaos and fighting for a result that actually meets your needs.
At Justice Pays, we move fast. From coordinating accident reconstructions to locking down site access and contractor records, we know the steps that make or break these cases.

Falls from heights—such as scaffolding, ladders, or roofs—are among the most common and most dangerous construction site accidents. These incidents often result from missing safety equipment, unprotected edges, or rushed jobsite procedures. Our legal team frequently handles fall-related cases where general contractors or site managers failed to implement proper fall protection.
While multiple parties may share responsibility, general contractors typically have the legal duty to ensure the site is safe and that all workers comply with OSHA regulations. Subcontractors, site supervisors, property owners, and even equipment vendors may also share liability. Our attorneys investigate the full safety chain to identify who failed and how.
Yes—if your injury was caused by a third party (such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or negligent property owner), you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ comp. These claims often provide greater compensation for pain, suffering, lost wages, and long-term care.
Seek medical attention immediately and report the injury to your supervisor. Then, avoid giving statements to insurance adjusters and contact an experienced construction accident attorney. Preserving your gear, taking photos, and identifying witnesses can help strengthen your case.
We investigate jobsite conditions, OSHA violations, maintenance logs, witness statements, and contractor agreements to determine who had control and who failed in their duty. Our firm works with construction experts, engineers, and safety professionals to build clear, fact-based cases.
If you have a third-party claim, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. We’ll evaluate your case and pursue full damages under Florida law.
There’s no upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case.
