Alabama Construction Accident Lawyer
In the construction industry, it is often necessary to lay a trench in order to run utility lines, pipes and other conduits. If the construction supervisors do not take precautions to prevent trench collapse, or cave-ins, the people who labor in the trenches are at risk of serious accidents and fatalities.

If you have been injured in a workplace accident, we can also examine your case to determine if you have a personal injury claim.

Trenching Accidents and Serious Injuries
In order to protect workers from structural accidents and trench collapse, there are a number of precautions construction site supervisors must take, including:
- Providing ramps, ladders and other means of escape in the event of a collapse
- Using trench shielding to fortify the walls of the trench
- Examining the soil to determine the likelihood of collapse
- Sloping the walls of the trench at an angle
Our attorneys have extensive experience handling workplace injury claims, and are adept at identifying liability in these cases. We will carefully examine the circumstances of your accident to determine who was at fault, and how negligence played a role in your accident injury.
