Construction Accidents

Accidents on construction sites accidents are all too common. Each year, many construction workers are injured or killed in workplace accidents each year.

The law requires that the general contractor and all subcontractors maintain a reasonably safe site, warn of risks and hazards at the site and work, hire reasonably careful employees, and comply with all safety requirements. Manufacturers of construction equipment may be held liable if they design or manufacture or an unsafe product.

If you or a loved one was injured in a construction site accident, the lawyers at Jacoby & Meyers can represent you against the owners, architects, insurance companies and/or equipment manufacturers responsible for the accident. To find out more, please call or email us today.

Construction Defects

Almost any condition that reduces the value of a home, condominium, or common area can be legally recognized as a construction defect in design or workmanship, or a defect related to landslide settlement conditions.

In most cases, you will need to hire the services of an expert. Experts are those who have the necessary training, education and experience to give testimony in court as to the cause of a construction defect. For example, if your roof leaks, an expert architect who has designed effective roofs, evaluated other leaky roofs and knows how roofs should be built would be in a good position to testify on why your roof leaks. And while a general contractor can adequately repair a damaged roof, he is not the best person to act as your expert. Your lawyer cannot, in most cases, prove his case against the developer unless he has a qualified expert. Experts are available in nearly every aspect of residential construction.

Toxic Mold

Toxic molds such as penicillium, stachybotrys, cladosporium, aspergillus, and black mold can cause indoor air quality problems leading to allergies and sickness. Toxic mold and black mold have become a huge problem for homeowners and insurance companies. Toxic threads can penetrate many materials but especially like common building materials such as drywall, wallboard, wallpaper and installation, all which contain organic materials that are good sources of nutrients. Molds generally require a water source, nutrients and an appropriate temperature for growth. One of the best ways to find out if your home has toxic mold or black mold is to have it tested.

If you own a home, apartment or commercial building that has toxic mold, contact Jacoby & Meyers to see if you have a claim against your insurance company, or the builder or developer of your property.

Symptoms can include chronic fatigue, memory loss or increased difficulty in remembering, headaches, runny nose, frequent bloody nose, coughing resulting in sore chest/lungs, hives, skin redness/rashes, etc.

And, if you or you family have noticed health problems that even remotely could be a result of toxic mold, get proper testing and then contact Jacoby & Meyers to discuss your legal rights.
