Injured on a Construction Site?
Aggressive Personal Injury Lawyers in Oklahoma
You are always covered by worker's compensation, but you may be able to sue for additional damages for a serious job-related injury.
The key question is what caused your construction accident? The negligence of a third party — or in some cases your employer — could be grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. Contact Foshee & Yaffe at 1-866-610-8106 for a free case evaluation.
Serving Oklahoma since 1977, our experienced legal team has secured many verdicts and settlements on behalf of injured construction and industrial workers:

- Electrocution/electrical burns
- Chemical burns/inhaling toxic fumes
You Can't Sue Your Employer — Or Can You?
In most cases, employers are immune from negligence claims. But if a supervisor or owner knowingly and willfully disregarded safety regulations (disabled a safety guard on a saw, refused to provide OSHA-required safety gear, ordered you into in an obviously dangerous situation), contact us to determine if you have a lawsuit.
Third Party Liability for Construction Accidents
Many construction injuries are caused by a third party such as another subcontractor working on the site. Did they leave a mess that caused a trip or slip? Did they fail to turn off overhead power lines or improperly assemble equipment? Manufacturers can also be held accountable for dangerous design of machinery. We find experts in construction management, product engineering and safety regulations to prove that the accident was preventable.
We know that construction accidents can cause lasting or permanent harm — brain injury, spinal injury, broken bones and severe lacerations, loss of fingers or limbs, and disabling injuries to necks, backs, shoulders and ankles. Foshee & Yaffe works to provide for a future that may not include construction work, including ongoing medical care, lost earnings and damages for lost quality of life.
Even if you are out of work a short time, there are medical bills that must be paid and lost wages that need to be replaced. We pursue both negligence claims and full workers' comp benefits for clients, including repetitive stress injuries.
