Construction Accident Attorney in Boston

Nearly 10,000 Cases. Six Languages. One Firm Built for Boston Workers.

Avalon Law Offices, P.C. has spent over 20 years representing injured workers across Greater Boston and Massachusetts. We’ve handled nearly 10,000 cases and recovered close to $100 million for our clients. For Boston’s construction workforce, including the many immigrant and non-English-speaking workers who make up a significant share of job sites across the city, we offer something most firms don’t: in-house legal support in Spanish, Haitian Creole, Cape Verdean Creole, French, and Portuguese, backed by a full language line.

Construction accident claims are among the most complex in Massachusetts personal injury law. Multiple legal tracks can run at once, the stakes are high, and the window to preserve evidence closes fast. We know how to navigate that terrain.

If you or a family member was hurt on a Boston construction site, contact us at (617) 765-9454 for a free consultation. We handle construction accident cases on a contingency fee basis, so there’s no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you.

What Sets Avalon Law Offices, P.C. Apart on Construction Cases

We handle hundreds of personal injury matters each year and understand how Massachusetts claims move from investigation to resolution.

Our multilingual team means you can communicate clearly in your own language from the first call through final resolution.

Construction Accident Claims We Handle

We represent injured workers on both workers’ compensation claims and third-party personal injury lawsuits arising from Boston construction accidents. The distinction matters. Massachusetts law generally bars direct lawsuits against an employer for work injuries, but a third-party claim against another responsible party can recover damages that workers’ compensation doesn’t cover, including compensation for pain and suffering.

Common construction accident types include:

• Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and roofs
• Being struck by falling or swinging objects
• Electrocution from live wires or faulty equipment
• Caught-in or caught-between accidents involving heavy machinery
• Crane and equipment failures

These correspond to what OSHA identifies as the “Fatal Four”: falls, struck-by incidents, caught-in or caught-between accidents, and electrocutions, the four hazard categories responsible for the majority of construction fatalities nationwide. Beyond the injured worker, pedestrians and bystanders hurt near a Boston construction zone may also have personal injury claims.

Parties who may be liable beyond the employer include property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and equipment rental companies. Identifying every responsible party is one of the most consequential steps in any construction accident case.
