Construction Accidents

Illinois Construction Accident Lawyer

At Cogan & McNabola, P.C., we represent workers in the construction industry who have been injured by parties other than their own employers. Third parties can include other subcontracting crews, municipalities, and manufacturers of defective products. Residential and commercial construction workers such as framers, roofers, electricians, and painters are routinely exposed to dangers in their daily work. When injuries occur, they can be catastrophic. As trial lawyers, we aggressively pursue the rights of injured workers and fight for the compensation to which they are entitled. Additionally, we represent individuals who are harmed in highway and interstate construction accidents.

At Cogan & McNabola, P.C. we understand that the bottom line is results. Please call our firm at 312-629-2900 or toll-free 1-800-704-2900 for further information about our firm or to arrange a consultation.
