What Damages Can an Alexandria Construction Accident Attorney Recover for Me?

The damages in these cases can vary widely based on the severity of injuries, necessary treatment, if there are lasting impairments, and many other factors. Some common types of damages we seek and secure for our clients include:
- Medical care and related expenses
- Future care and support expenses for long-term and permanent injuries
- Income losses due to the time required for treatment and recovery
- Reduced ability to work and earn if there are lasting disabilities

What If My Loved One Passed Away in an Alexandria Construction Accident?
When a worker or site guest passes away from construction accident injuries, their surviving family members may be able to recover damages through a wrongful death case. This type of case allows the surviving spouse, children, or parents—in that order—the right to seek compensation and hold the at-fault party responsible for their loved one’s passing.
Our Alexandria wrongful death lawyers understand how to build these cases based on construction accident injuries. Contact us today to learn more during a FREE claim review.
How Our Alexandria Injury Lawyers Approach Construction Accident Cases
At the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, we have a strong understanding of how liable parties and insurance companies work to reduce or deny claims filed by injured people and their families. In fact, our firm founder, James R. “Jim” Parrish, represented the insurance companies before he went to work for injury victims.
During his career with the insurance companies, he learned many of the tricks and tactics they use to pay as little as possible to injury victims. This includes making lowball offers early in the process, demanding recorded interviews that can be used against the victim, and utilizing computer programs and AI to mass deny claims.
When you hire our team, you get this knowledge and experience on your side. As you can see from our recent verdicts and settlements, we know how to secure maximum compensation for our clients. We live where you live and are a part of your community. Let us work for you.

How Our Alexandria Attorneys Navigate Construction Accident Cases
When a construction worker suffers a serious injury, they often receive care at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Alexandria or a hospital in the DC area. Some of the injuries that may need immediate (and costly) treatment include:
- Fall injuries
- Broken bones
- Sprains and strains
- Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries
- Cuts and lacerations
- Burns
- Hearing or vision loss
- Back and neck injuries, including spinal cord injuries
- Respiratory issues, often due to chemical exposure
- Electric shock
- Electrocution
- Crush injuries
The construction industry must follow many regulations, many of which aim to protect workers and visitors to work sites. In Virginia, this is primarily managed under the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health (VOSH) Program.
Causes of Construction Accident Injuries
Still, when violations occur, accidents can happen, and injuries are possible. A careless property owner or negligent general contractor can cause injuries through:
- Lack of fall protection
- Poor safety training
- Unsafe working conditions
- Inadequate scaffolding
- Faulty equipment or machinery
- Workers without proper protective gear
- Miscommunication with delivery trucks and other visitors
- Poorly maintained tools and equipment
- Inadequate supervision
- Falling objects
Injured individuals can build a case against the liable party. Our Alexandria construction accident attorneys manage this process, investigating what happened and gathering evidence to determine the factors that played a role. We handle these cases from start to finish, allowing you to focus on healing.
