What Are Common Causes of Construction Accidents in Las Vegas?

Despite strict safety standards set by Nevada law and OSHA regulations, violations happen every day on job sites. When supervisors cut corners or fail to enforce safety measures, workers pay the price. Some of the most common causes of construction accidents include:

Unsecured scaffolding or elevated structures
Lack of proper fall protection
Defective or poorly maintained equipment
Negligent hiring or inadequate training
Falling objects or debris
Contact with live electrical wires
Unsafe work zones or poor site management
Extreme temperatures and overexertion

Our attorneys know how to expose unsafe practices and hold negligent companies accountable. Whether your accident occurred on the Strip, a housing development, or a highway project, we can help.

What Injuries Often Result From Construction Accidents?

Construction accidents can result in life-altering injuries that impact your ability to work and care for your family. Our firm represents clients suffering from:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Severe burns or electrical injuries
Crush and amputation injuries
Broken bones and fractures
Back, neck, and shoulder injuries
Internal organ damage and bleeding
Nerve damage and chronic pain
Wrongful death

Every case is personal. We take the time to understand how your injuries have affected your life so we can pursue every dollar of compensation you deserve.

Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury Claims

If you were hurt while working on a construction site, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits through your employer’s insurance. These benefits can help pay for:

Medical treatment and rehabilitation
Partial wage replacement while you recover
Disability payments for long-term impairments

However, workers’ compensation doesn’t always cover the full scope of your losses. If someone other than your employer, such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner, contributed to your accident, you may also file a third-party personal injury lawsuit. Our team will evaluate all your legal options to help you recover the maximum compensation available.

What Damages Are Available in a Construction Accident Claim?

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation. Cogburn Davidson’s attorneys fight to recover both economic and non-economic damages, including:

Economic Damages

Current and future medical expenses
Lost wages and diminished earning potential
Rehabilitation and long-term care
Property damage
Funeral expenses (in wrongful death cases)

Non-Economic Damages

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Disfigurement or disability
Loss of companionship
Diminished quality of life

What if I’m Partially at Fault for My Construction Accident?

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation as long as you’re 50% or less responsible for your accident. For example, if you are found 25% at fault and your total damages are $200,000, you can still recover $150,000.

However, workers’ compensation claims operate differently; they are no-fault, meaning you can receive benefits regardless of who caused the accident. Our lawyers will help determine the best path for your case and protect your rights at every turn.

How Long Do I Have to File a Construction Accident Claim in Nevada?

Timing is critical after a construction injury.

Workers’ Compensation Claims: Must be reported within 90 days of the injury or diagnosis.
Personal Injury Lawsuits: Must be filed within two years of the accident.

Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to recovery. Our construction accident attorneys in Las Vegas ensure all claims are filed correctly and on time so you can focus on what matters most: your recovery.
