Atlanta Construction Injury Workers’ Comp Lawyers

Atlanta construction accident injury lawyers at Richardson Law have represented hundreds of injured construction workers in all types of cases, from traumatic brain injuries and severe burns to loss of limb and spinal cord injuries.


Construction injuries are often unique for a couple key reasons:

  • The heavy machinery, dangerous tools and heights at which construction workers operate frequently lead to particularly severe and debilitating job site injuries

  • The disabilities some construction workers suffer prevent them from returning to their same career or earning an equal or greater wage elsewhere
