Construction remains one of Colorado’s most hazardous industries. In 2023, Colorado recorded 83 on-the-job fatalities, with 15 of those in construction and extraction occupations, highlighting the severe risks faced by workers daily.
If you’ve suffered a construction site injury in Denver, the physical pain, medical bills, emotional trauma, and lost income can feel overwhelming. At Lampert & Walsh, our dedicated construction accidents lawyers combine deep knowledge of Colorado personal injury law with compassionate advocacy.

Our construction accidents lawyers have successfully represented clients in a wide range of accident cases, including:
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and rooftops remain one of the leading causes of construction-related fatalities in Colorado. Even with safety harnesses and guardrails, improper setup or negligent supervision can lead to devastating injuries.
Construction sites are full of heavy tools, building materials, and debris that can fall from above. A single dropped tool can cause severe head trauma, concussions, or crush injuries, especially when workers are not provided with adequate protective gear.
Faulty wiring, exposed power lines, and poorly maintained electrical equipment are frequent hazards on job sites. Electrocution injuries can result in severe burns, nerve damage, and even cardiac arrest.
Cranes, bulldozers, forklifts, and excavators are powerful but dangerous when mishandled or poorly maintained. Workers can suffer crushing injuries, amputations, or fatalities when machinery malfunctions or operators are improperly trained.
Uneven surfaces, misplaced tools, and unmarked wet areas create preventable trip-and-fall accidents. While they may seem minor, these incidents can lead to serious sprains, fractures, and long-term mobility issues that keep workers off the job for months.
Construction workers are often exposed to hazardous chemicals, asbestos, and silica dust. Prolonged exposure can cause chronic respiratory illnesses, skin disorders, or life-threatening conditions like mesothelioma, often requiring costly, long-term medical care.

Employers and general contractors have a legal duty to maintain safe working environments, provide proper safety gear, and comply with OSHA regulations. If they fail to address known hazards, enforce safety protocols, or train workers adequately, they can be held accountable for resulting injuries.
When construction is performed on private or commercial property, the owner may bear responsibility if unsafe site conditions contributed to the accident. This includes hazards such as unstable structures, inadequate security measures, or environmental dangers that they failed to disclose or correct.
If defective tools, heavy machinery, or safety equipment cause injury, the manufacturer or distributor can be liable under product liability laws. This could involve faulty design, manufacturing defects, or failure to provide proper safety instructions and warnings.
On busy construction sites, multiple contractors often work side-by-side. If a subcontractor’s negligence such as improper equipment use, ignoring safety protocols, or careless operation leads to an accident, they may be held financially responsible for damages.

If you’ve been injured in a construction accident, you may be entitled to:
This coverage can include payment for medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, and a percentage of lost wages while you recover. Even if the accident was your fault, we ensure your employer’s insurance company doesn’t underpay or delay your claim.
If your injury was caused by a negligent third party, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit in addition to workers’ compensation. This can help you recover damages for pain and suffering, full lost wages, and future medical expenses.
When a construction accident results in a fatality, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim. This can include funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.
If you face retaliation against filing a workers’ compensation or injury claim, a construction accidents lawyer can take immediate legal action to protect your job, enforce your rights, and pursue additional damages if your employer violates the law.
Yes. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
You may still be eligible for workers’ compensation through your direct employer. In addition, you might have a third-party claim against the general contractor, property owner, or other responsible parties if their negligence contributed to your injury.
Yes. Your immigration status does not affect your right to workers’ compensation benefits or to pursue a personal injury claim if a third party was negligent.
Settlement amounts depend on factors such as medical costs, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. An experienced construction accidents lawyer will assess your damages and negotiate for the maximum recovery.
Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through negotiations and settlements without going to trial. However, if the at-fault party or insurer refuses to offer a fair amount, your lawyer may recommend pursuing litigation.
Important evidence includes incident reports, photographs of the scene, witness statements, medical records, safety inspection logs, and equipment maintenance records. Your attorney can help collect and preserve this evidence.
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. Our fees are only collected if we successfully secure compensation for you.
