Building Code Defects And Construction Injuries
Every building, whether commercial, residential or used for both, must comply with all building codes and regulations. Failing to do so is not only against the law but can also put people at risk for serious injuries. This is especially important in situations where buildings are undergoing construction. A construction site can be a dangerous place, particularly when some people are not following building codes.
If you have been injured while working on a construction site or if you have been injured on someone else’s property due to defects in the property, you have rights. A lawyer can protect your rights and help you recover the financial resources you need to move forward with your life.
I’m attorney Ben Salyers, and I represent injured people through my firm Salyers Law, PLLC, in Shelbyville. Let me help support you through the steps to seek compensation after an injury.
A Strong Advocate For Building Code Defects Claims
If you are injured on someone else’s property, I will investigate and see if the building is up to code. If code violations appear to have led to your injuries, we will hold the building owner accountable.
Common types of defects occur in these areas:
- Structural integrity
- Electrical problems
- Mechanical issues
- Door and window seals
- Thermal and moisture protection
If any of these types of defects lead to your injury, you may be eligible to seek compensation. I’ll help discover the underlying causes and hold the negligent parties responsible.
Legal Support For Construction Injuries
Construction accidents can lead to catastrophic and even fatal injuries. If you or someone you love was injured on a construction site, I’m ready to help you recover all available damages. Workers’ compensation benefits are available to anyone who is injured on the job. If, however, someone other than your employer caused your injuries, you may be eligible to file a personal injury case against that party. In all cases, I will leverage my experience and knowledge to give you every chance to make a complete financial recovery.
