We fight to make sure you’re heard. We win because your recovery depends on it. You deserve results, not excuses—let’s get to work.
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in America. Heavy equipment, towering scaffolds, exposed wiring – hazards lurk around every corner. When safety takes a backseat to speed and profits, workers pay the price.
If you or a loved one has been seriously hurt in a construction accident, the dedicated legal team at Kennedy Injury Law in Castle Rock is here to help. We’ll fight to hold negligent contractors and site owners accountable and secure the compensation you deserve.
Construction workers face a multitude of risks every day. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has identified the “Fatal Four” hazards responsible for more than half of all construction worker deaths:
Other common causes of serious construction injuries include:
These accidents often result from negligent acts like inadequate fall protection, lack of safety gear, defective equipment, poor site maintenance, and OSHA violations. When corners are cut, workers get hurt.
The forces involved in construction accidents can inflict devastating, life-altering harm:
Many of these injuries require extensive medical treatment, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation. Some result in permanent disability. Workers are often unable to return to the construction industry or perform any meaningful work.
The financial impact can be staggering. Lost income, mounting medical bills, and the cost of ongoing care can quickly overwhelm families. Our mission is to lighten this burden by fighting for every dollar of compensation you deserve.
When you’re hurt on the job in Colorado, you’re generally entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. These include coverage for medical treatment, wage replacement, and disability. However, workers’ comp has strict limits and does not provide compensation for your pain and suffering.
In many construction accident cases, there may be other avenues to justice beyond workers’ comp. You may have a personal injury claim against a third party (not your employer) whose negligence contributed to your injuries, such as:
These third-party claims can provide additional compensation for losses that workers’ comp doesn’t cover, like pain, suffering, and emotional distress. They also allow you to hold the at-fault party fully accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
At Kennedy Injury Law, we’ll explore every potential source of recovery. We’ll analyze your case from every angle to identify all liable parties and insurance policies. Our goal is to maximize your compensation, so you have the resources you need to move forward.
Determining liability in a construction accident case can be a complex undertaking. There are often multiple contractors and subcontractors involved, each pointing the finger at the other.
Our skilled attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation to uncover critical evidence of fault, such as:
Using this evidence, we’ll build a compelling case demonstrating how the negligent parties’ actions led to your injuries. We’ll also consult with medical experts, vocational specialists, and life care planners to fully document the extent of your losses.
The defendants and insurers will have teams of lawyers working to deny, delay, and diminish your claim. We’ll be ready to counter their every tactic with the facts and fight tenaciously for the justice you deserve.
A serious construction accident can derail your career, your health, and your family’s financial security. You deserve to be made whole for all the ways your life has been impacted, including:
If your loved one was tragically killed in a construction accident, we can also pursue a wrongful death claim. This allows your family to seek justice and compensation for your devastating loss, including funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.
Money can never undo the trauma you’ve experienced, but it can provide vital support and stability as you navigate the challenges ahead. Our mission is to fight for every penny you’re owed, so you can focus on healing and rebuilding.

In most cases, Colorado law limits you to pursuing a workers’ compensation claim against your employer. However, if a third party (not your employer) caused or contributed to your injuries, you may have a separate personal injury claim against them. An experienced construction accident attorney can identify all potentially liable parties in your case.
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as your percentage of fault is less than the defendants’. However, your damages will be reduced by your assigned percentage of fault. An attorney can help minimize allegations that you were to blame.
You typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Colorado, but deadlines can vary depending on the specifics of your case. It’s crucial to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
If your employer is uninsured, you can file a claim against them directly in civil court. You may also be eligible for benefits through Colorado’s Uninsured Employer Fund. An experienced attorney can guide you through your options.
Never accept a settlement without first consulting a knowledgeable construction accident lawyer. Insurance companies often make lowball offers that don’t account for the full extent of your losses. An attorney can evaluate the offer and negotiate for the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Most construction accident lawyers, including Kennedy Injury Law, work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and the attorney only collects a fee if they win compensation for you. You have nothing to lose and potentially much to gain by scheduling a free consultation.
