Construction activity across Calvert County continues to grow, especially in towns like Prince Frederick and Lusby. While new developments create jobs and opportunities, they also pose real safety risks. Construction zones are filled with heavy machinery, elevated platforms, power tools, and unsecured materials. One small failure can lead to a devastating injury. If you were harmed while working or visiting a construction site, a Calvert County construction accident lawyer can help you determine whether you have a valid injury claim.

Workers' compensation does not cover all construction accidents. If a third party—such as a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment supplier—contributed to your injuries, you may be entitled to additional compensation. These claims can run alongside a workers’ comp case or stand alone, depending on your employment status and the cause of the accident. Either way, early legal help is critical.

A personal injury claim can be filed when someone else’s negligence directly causes harm. On a construction site, many different individuals or entities may be responsible, including:

• General contractors who fail to maintain safe conditions;
• Subcontractors operating dangerous equipment;
• Property owners who overlook hazards on the premises; and
• Manufacturers of faulty scaffolding, ladders, or power tools.

When these failures lead to falls, electrocution, crush injuries, or serious head trauma, legal action may be the only way to recover medical costs and lost income. Depending on the facts, a Prince George’s Personal Injury claim may be available to you, even if you were working on-site. Consulting with a Calvert County construction site accident lawyer helps ensure no liable party is missed.

The construction zone is not limited to employees. Every day, delivery drivers, inspectors, pedestrians, or visitors enter active worksites and face many of the same hazards. If you were not employed by the contractor but were injured on the property, you may have grounds for a third-party negligence claim. These injuries are often more challenging because they involve premises liability principles and may require deeper investigation.

Employees, on the other hand, generally pursue compensation through the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission. This system offers coverage for medical treatment, wage replacement, and permanent disability—regardless of who caused the accident. Still, insurance disputes arise regularly, and claims may be denied or underpaid. We regularly assist with Workers' Compensation appeals and support clients.

Every job site has unique challenges, but certain construction accidents are more likely to result in injury. These include:

• Falls from scaffolding or ladders due to inadequate guardrails;
• Electrical shocks from exposed wires or faulty equipment;
• Struck-by injuries from falling tools, debris, or moving vehicles;
• Machinery-related injuries involving cranes, forklifts, or bulldozers; and
• Trench collapses and excavation hazards.

Each of these can result in life-altering damage, including broken bones, spinal trauma, amputations, and traumatic brain injury. A Calvert County construction accident attorney can help identify all responsible parties and ensure your recovery reflects the full impact of your injuries.
