Aurora Construction Accident Lawyer

At Mintz Law Firm, our attorneys have represented injured Coloradans for over thirty years, and we treat every client as a person, not a case number. Our team handles construction accident claims with personal attention, honest advice, and regular contact, so you always know where your case stands.

What Does a Construction Accident Lawyer Do?

A construction accident lawyer investigates what went wrong, protects the evidence, and builds a claim that reflects the full cost of your injuries. Our attorneys gather site reports, review safety records, and speak with witnesses before the details fade. This work takes pressure off you so you can focus on healing. We also handle the paperwork, deadlines, and calls from insurance companies, so you can put your energy where it matters most.

Construction work carries real risks across Colorado. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the state’s construction sector recorded 22 worker deaths in 2024, and falls, slips, and trips caused 10 of them. Those figures show why safety rules matter and why injured workers deserve strong advocates when those rules are ignored. If you were hurt on a job site in Aurora, you have options, and we are here to explain them clearly.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Construction Site Injury?

Construction sites bring many companies together, so more than one party may share responsibility for what happened to you. Our attorneys closely examine the following parties when we build a claim:

• General Contractors: They oversee the site and coordinate safe working conditions
• Subcontractors: Crews from other trades can create hazards that injure workers employed by someone else
• Equipment Owners and Operators: Companies that supply, maintain, or run heavy machinery can share fault when a lift or crane fails
• Property Owners: Owners who control a site or ignore known dangers may be held accountable 

Naming every responsible party matters because each one may carry insurance that helps cover your losses. It also allows us to pursue compensation beyond what workers’ compensation alone provides.

How Does Workers’ Compensation Work After a Construction Accident?

Many injured construction workers begin with a workers’ compensation claim. This system generally covers medical treatment related to the injury and a portion of lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. However, it does not cover pain and suffering.

Insurance adjusters sometimes dispute the cost of ongoing care or push for an early return to work. Our attorneys push back on those tactics, and when an outside company is at fault, we pursue a separate claim alongside your benefits. Doing both gives you a stronger path toward a more complete recovery.

What Compensation Is Available After a Construction Accident?

Every case is different, but the goal is to cover the real costs of the accident, including medical care, lost income, and future treatment. Serious injuries often create needs that last for years.

For example, a worker with a spinal cord injury may need ongoing therapy and home modifications, while a worker with a traumatic brain injury may need long-term cognitive care. Our attorneys account for these long-term needs so a settlement reflects the road ahead, not just today’s bills.

How Does a Construction Accident Claim Move Forward?

Once you reach out, we listen to your story, review the details, and explain your options in plain language. From there, our attorneys gather evidence and calculate what your injuries have cost you now and may cost in the future.

Most claims begin with negotiations with the insurance companies involved. If a fair offer is not made, we are prepared to take your case to court, because strong preparation gives you leverage. Throughout the process, we keep you updated so you never have to guess about your case.
