Construction Accidents
Denver Construction Accident Attorneys
Many workers who have suffered serious injury on a construction site do not realize that they might have grounds for a third-party lawsuit beyond a workers compensation claim. Gerash, Toray & Gerash, P.C. has prevailed in major cases against parties other than an employer whose negligence led to construction accidents.

Third-Party Liability
Most job-related injuries are limited to workers' comp benefits. You cannot sue your employer, supervisors or co-workers for negligence. However, another subcontractor, a manufacturer of tools or equipment, or a property owner may be accountable for damages. Gerash, Toray & Gerash has handled a range of construction accident injuries:
- Heavy equipment accidents
- Electrocution/electrical burns
- Fires and explosions
- Scaffolding and ladder accidents
- Falls from heights
- On-duty vehicle accidents
Demonstrated Results in Construction Site and Heavy Equipment Injury Cases
* Our client was an independent contractor who provided clean-up and odd jobs at construction sites. While assisting another subcontractor, his arm was severed by a retracting crane. We settled a product defect claim against the crane manufacturer, and reached a settlement with the crane owner for the operator's negligence after opening arguments at trial.
* It initially appeared that the manufacturer of a "cherry picker" lift truck was responsible when it tipped, causing a volunteer who was using the truck to paint the exterior of a church to fall from a height of 30 feet. The man’s injuries were fatal. Our investigation revealed that church employees had tampered with the lift, and we won compensation for the man’s family in a wrongful death claim against the church.

In addition to our years of legal experience, Gerash, Toray & Gerash has access to a network of engineers and occupational safety experts who can link construction accidents to a specific product flaw, act of negligence or regulatory violation. We pursue every source of third party liability coverage to ensure that victims or their families are fully compensated for the financial loss and emotional devastation.
