A construction accident claim will involve negotiations with insurance companies. Unfortunately, these companies are not on your side. Whether you are filing a claim against a construction company, the City of Bellevue, or another party, you need help going up against the insurance provider. Insurance companies can use unfair tactics to get you to settle your claim for less than it is worth. The best way to combat these tactics is with help from an attorney. Hiring a lawyer to take care of your claim can give you peace of mind, and allow you to focus on personal healing.
Greg Colburn’s path to personal injury law is rooted in personal experience. After a devastating fall left him in a wheelchair for two years, he took on insurance companies and legal obstacles to win his own case. That journey inspired him to fight for others facing similar challenges. Today, Greg is dedicated to helping injury victims hold negligent parties accountable and secure the justice they deserve.

Super Lawyers Profile: Greg Colburn
In 2017, 16 construction workers died from work-related injuries in Washington State. This was the highest death toll in the state’s construction industry since 2008. Falls were the most common fatal incident, followed by machine-related accidents, struck-by object, and motor vehicle accidents. Construction workers are more at risk of certain injury types than others based on the nature of their jobs.
The four main causes of construction worker death according to OSHA are falls, struck-by object, electrocution, and caught-in/between. It is up to construction companies and site supervisors to reasonably prevent these accidents through appropriate training and use of safety protocols.
Liability can be difficult to assign in a construction accident case. In most claims, however, the construction company will be legally responsible for worker or bystander injuries. It is the construction company’s legal obligation to inspect a site for hazards, warn workers and pedestrians of potential risks, and equip workers with the correct safety gear to minimize the odds of injury. Any act or omission that falls outside of these duties of care, resulting in a construction accident, is negligence.
A construction company can be liable for any of its own negligence, as well as the negligence of its employees. If a subcontractor caused the accident, however, the individual could be liable for damages. Other potential defendants in a construction accident claim include property owners and product manufacturers. If the City of Bellevue owned the property and negligently failed to correct a defect, for example, the government may be responsible for damages. Construction equipment manufactures might bear liability for defective or dangerous products.
