Our Lawyers Help Victims Secure Compensation After a Winchester Construction Accident
Construction sites have many dangers and risks for workers and visitors. They often suffer significant injuries when an accident occurs. This could include:
- Spinal cord injuries from falls or collapses
- Brain injuries from falling objects or falls
- Burns from electrical accidents or exposure to caustic chemicals
- Broken bones or fractures from falls, impacts, or being struck by objects
- Amputations from machinery or equipment accidents
- Sprains and strains from lifting, repetitive motions, or falls
- Cuts and lacerations from falls, equipment, or debris
- Hearing loss from prolonged exposure to loud construction noise
- Respiratory problems from inhaling dust or toxic fumes
These injuries can require extensive treatment, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and ongoing care in some cases. When our attorneys pursue compensation in these cases, we identify the expenses and losses incurred and demand a fair payout based on them. This could include:
- Medical care and related costs
- Estimated future care and support needs
- Income lost while missing work
- Diminished earning ability if there are long-term impairments
- Other related expenses with receipts
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience

Trust an Attorney From Our Team to Identify the Liable Party in Your Winchester Construction Accident
Our Winchester construction site accident attorneys know how to investigate construction accidents to understand who caused them and who might be liable for injuries. Liability for a construction accident can fall on multiple parties, including:
- The property owner
- The general contractor
- Subcontractors
- Equipment manufacturers
- Third parties, such as someone making a delivery to the site
Each of these parties owes a duty to others on the site. These accidents generally occur because someone behaved negligently and failed to uphold their duty of care. In some cases, the negligence may stem from a property owner who allows unsafe work conditions or a contractor’s failure to follow safety regulations.
Some types of construction accidents include:
- Falls from heights, such as ladders, scaffolding, or roofs
- Being struck by objects such as tools or debris
- Electrocution from exposed wires or faulty equipment
- Trenching and excavation accidents
- Caught-in or between accidents, often from materials, equipment, or machinery
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Vehicle accidents on the site
In some cases, a Winchester car accident lawyer from our team might manage your case. This might be true if you were hit by a vehicle while on a construction site or otherwise involved in a traffic accident.

How Our Winchester Construction Accident Lawyers Secure a Payout for You
Our construction accident and injury lawyers often negotiate a fair settlement agreement with the property owner or another liable party in these cases. We recover compensation for our clients without needing to take the case to trial.
Even when we file a lawsuit, cases often settle before the trial date is put on the court’s docket or before the trial begins. Only rarely do cases require a jury trial, although we will represent you in court if necessary.
Under Va. Code § 8.01-243, we likely have up to two years to file the paperwork to begin legal action. Many of these lawsuits will be filed in Frederick County Circuit Court, located in Winchester on North Kent Street. If the case goes to court, this is where the trial will be held for these cases.
