Construction accidents are unfortunate, yet common. Construction crews are constantly working in Chicago and the surrounding areas erecting new buildings, performing scheduled maintenance or repairing breaks or cracks. With this amount of activity, it is not surprising to realize that thousands of construction workers are injured each year. If you were hurt while working on a construction site, schedule a free consultation and case evaluation with an attorney at our firm immediately.
At Woodruff Johnson & Palermo, our Aurora crane accident attorneys have a great deal of experience representing injured construction workers. Cranes are the largest and most dangerous structures on a construction site. If they are not properly maintained, or are built with faulty materials, the injuries can be catastrophic and life-threatening. Our firm has the experience, technical knowledge and expertise necessary to properly investigate your accident and provide you with an honest assessment of the challenges you might face through litigation.

Chicago is not called the Windy City for no reason. Many accidents occur each year due to sudden, violent changing weather conditions. These weather conditions, however, are no excuse to work unsafely. Accidents can occur for several reasons, including:
- Improper safety equipment
- Negligent supervisors
- Failure to monitor weather conditions
- Faulty construction
- Defective materials
- Generally unsafe working conditions
It is possible that your accident might lead to a workers' compensation claim or a third-party liability claim. It is necessary to consult with a skilled attorney who can examine your situation and explore every legal avenue possible to ensure you recover the full and fair compensation possible for your medical bills and lost wages.
