In professional malpractice cases, the insured often has much more control over the outcome of the case because professional liability insurance usually contains a settlement clause giving the insured final say over decisions such as whether or not to settle. Our attorneys work hand-in-hand with the construction professionals we represent, because we understand that successful defense of a malpractice case has a major impact on our clients’ professional future.

Construction companies work hard to prevent job site accidents from occurring, and McNeal Schick collaborates with our construction clients to interpret safety regulations, meet inspection requirements and implement effective job safety programs. Even with these safeguards in place, construction accidents do happen. When they do, McNeal Schick investigates every aspect of the accident to determine who should properly bear responsibility. If another party is at fault, we vigorously defend our clients to protect them from liability. In those unfortunate cases where our client is responsible, we negotiate fiercely to limit financial pay-outs while ensuring that the victim is adequately compensated.

We have successfully defended our clients against the following types of construction site accidents and injuries:

  • Falls from scaffolding and other heights
  • Injuries caused by falling or moving equipment
  • Electrocution
  • Exposure to chemicals like asbestos
  • Injuries caused by defective or unsafe equipment
  • Lifting injuries
  • Repetitive stress injuries
