Although the injury and fatality rate in many industry sectors has declined significantly since the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) came into being, this has not been the case for the construction industry.

With its workforce exposed to a wider variety of hazards and facing a greater risk of work-related injury or fatality, the construction industry consistently registers significant rates of workplace accidents.

Recognizing the exposure and liabilities faced in this industry segment, Smith Mazure has been on the forefront and has consistently demonstrated that defending such cases requires more than just a deep understanding of accident law. It also requires an expertise that is only developed through experience and in-depth knowledge of local labor laws.

At Smith Mazure, our attorneys know the law and how the construction industry works. More importantly, our hands-on approach, often including visits to our clients' construction sites and re-creation of the accident scene, helps us to understand the work environment and the liability involved. This all combines to present the best defense possible and has provided us with an impressive track record of defending construction-related suits.
