1. Electric Shock, Explosions, Arc Flash, and Fires

Since 2021, Morrison & Hughes has handled the biggest work accident claim in Georgia, and it involves an industrial electrical injury. Our client received over $11 Million of benefits for medical care during the first few months after his work accident, including extensive burn care at a specialized facility. At any construction site, workers use generators, powerful machinery, welders, electrical wiring, and switches. Construction workers also have to handle flammable materials and compressed air, both of which present the danger of fire or explosion. All these tasks put employees at a higher risk of suffering an electric shock or from an arc flash. In situations like these, hiring an attorney who knows how to handle a catastrophic burn injury can literally be the difference between life and death.

2. Falls from a height

Roofers, Electricians, and Carpenters are far more likely to suffer a bad fall than the public. Whether a worker falls from a roof, scaffolding, or machinery, a severe injury is almost inevitable from a certain height. The construction accident attorneys at Morrison & Hughes are skilled in bringing workers’ compensation claims involving multi-story buildings, factories, and large construction projects involving multiple contractors.
