Missouri/Kansas Construction Accident Lawyers
Construction is dangerous enough without adding unnecessary risk. If your employer willfully ignored safety regulations, or another party contributed to a construction accident through negligence or indifference, you may have a lawsuit for damages.
The Kansas City law firm of Yonke & Pottenger helps workers in industrial and construction trades secure settlements and verdicts for serious worksite injuries —above and beyond the limited benefits of workers' compensation.
We take construction accident cases across the K.C. area and throughout Missouri and Kansas. Call immediately at 866-764-3065 so that we can preserve critical evidence before it is cleared away or covered by ongoing site work.
Demonstrating the Negligence or Intentional Acts
Trial lawyers at Yonke & Pottenger have sued general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers and service providers who created unsafe work conditions:
- Failure to warn of hazards or erect barriers
- Leaving cords, tools and debris in travel paths
- Removing safety guards from tools or machines
- Defective tools, machinery and equipment
- Collapsed scaffolding or ladder
- Heavy equipment accidents (cranes, loaders, forklifts)
- Live power lines
- Ordering employees into hazardous situations (trenches, unprotected heights, chemical exposure)
We obtain statements from other workers and witnesses, take photos and video of the construction accident scene, and examine practices and site conditions for OSHA safety violations. Yonke & Pottenger has experience in product liability, premises liability and complex litigation involving multiple defendants, as well as workers' compensation claims.
We fight for the long-term damages to make up for the physical, financial and personal impact of catastrophic injuries (head trauma, paralysis, loss of limb). We also pursue wrongful death compensation for fatal construction accidents.
