Construction Site Injuries
A construction site is a dangerous place. People who work in the construction industry some days are literally taking their lives in their hands while at work. Every year there are hundreds of deaths, and thousands of injuries in construction related accidents. Statistically, Indiana's rate of injury for construction site related accidents is above the national average. Some of the most common construction related injuries include broken bones, burns, and lacerations. These types of injuries can be caused by:
Faulty equipment
Improper safety inspections
Safety violations
Electrocution
Falling objects
It is an unfortunate fact that many injuries in a construction area are entirely preventable. If you have been injured through negligence of another person or entity in the construction industry, Schafer and Schafer LLP can help you recover funds for medical expenses, lost wages, and more. There are strict time limits involving this type of case, so contact our law firm today.
Industrial Injuries
Not only are people who work at industrial plants in danger because of problems or carelessness with products at the job, but people who live near industrial plants can also be injured by chemical explosions, toxic spills, fire, among other things that can go wrong in that type of scenario.

You are entitled to collect monies for your injuries, medical bills, as well as lost wages and possible lost future wages.
