Construction Accident Lawyer in Calgary

A family lost their electrician husband and father when he came into contact with an unmarked live wire that was allegedly not de-energized during a home renovation. The contracting company initially denied liability. Our construction accident lawyers reviewed and relied on Section 225 of the Alberta Electrical Code (C22.1-18) and provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (SA 2017, c O-2.1), which addressed compliance with lockout and energy-control procedures. The matter was resolved through a wrongful death settlement, providing compensation for loss of income, dependent support, and bereavement-related damages, with coordination involving the Workers’ Compensation Board where applicable.

A laborer was injured when a bulldozer and concrete barrier collided during an industrial site incident, resulting in pelvic fractures, internal injuries, and PTSD. The employer raised an assumption-of-risk defense. Our construction accident lawyers relied on Section 2(2) of the Occupational Health and Safety Code, which addresses employer obligations related to safety procedures for heavy equipment operation. Through the claims process, the worker was able to pursue compensation covering multiple surgeries, psychological treatment, vocational retraining, and pain and suffering, while navigating applicable workers’ compensation and regulatory requirements.

An experienced carpenter suffered multiple spinal fractures when a scaffold collapsed at a commercial construction site. The site contractor’s insurer initially disputed liability, alleging improper assembly by the worker. Our construction accident lawyers reviewed obligations under Alberta’s Occupational Health and Safety legislation and examined whether appropriate inspection and safety procedures were followed. Through the claims process, the worker pursued compensation related to spinal surgery, permanent functional limitations, and future income loss under applicable legislation, helping support financial stability when returning to the trade was no longer possible.
