Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

I feel I was treated great. Mr. Ranzenhofer responded quickly with call backs and any questions, there were never any doubts of where my case was and he was always reassuring that being patient was the answer. And it was. I want to thank him and his legal team especially with the office personnel always friendly and also quick responses when messages were left. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything

Two of the most dangerous work site locations in the United States are construction and industrial workplaces. It is no secret that construction workers are injured or killed while working by the thousands every year. A long-term struggle awaits for those that have been injured on construction or industrial work sites.
At Friedman & Ranzenhofer, our experienced Rochester construction accident lawyers will fight to get the compensation you deserve for the injuries you sustained.
The problem that construction and industrial workers face is that if they get injured they can no longer perform their job because the nature of their work is rooted in manual labor. Oftentimes, these jobs offer very attractive benefit packages that injured workers can no longer acquire. Furthermore, construction and industrial site workers can’t go and find other jobs like these if they are injured, making their injury that much more complicated and troubling.
However, with the help of a construction and industrial injury lawyer the situation for injured workers can improve drastically. Liability for construction and industrial site injuries rests on a lot of different shoulders. Owners, architects, insurance companies and even equipment manufacturers can be held responsible. Your employer, general contractor and subcontractors are required to: provide a safe working environment, alert employees to any hazardous conditions and insure that the site complies with state safety regulations.
We have found that construction and industrial sites violate simple standards and purposely use defective products on a regular basis. Getting the compensation you deserve for an injury that happened at a construction or industrial site will not be easy.
If you have been injured in a work zone or construction site, contact our experienced Rochester construction accident lawyers for dedicated representation. We will fight to get you the compensation you deserve. Don’t settle for less, contact us today to schedule your legal consultation.
