Why Choose LCBF

We represent owners, developers, and general contractors with personal injury claims, as well as any related insurance coverage issues related to these matters. Our defense team is experienced at handling all aspects of personal injury claims arising out of construction work. The firm has, for example, successfully litigated construction injury cases arising from an alleged runaway crane, a collapsing elevator cab, a roof collapse, a trench collapse, loads dropped by heavy equipment, and falls from scaffolding. These cases often involve death or serious injuries, including blindness, amputation and severe spinal impairment.

We are experienced at identifying and making appropriate judgments about joining all implicated parties, and at effectively pursuing contractual indemnity and additional insured claims that invariably arise in construction litigation. One of our goals is to look for opportunities to achieve an early, efficient settlement of our clients’ disputes, often through alternative dispute resolution, sparing the client the substantial expense and disruption typical of construction litigation.

When early resolution cannot be achieved, our experienced attorneys are fully prepared to aggressively litigate and try complex, highly technical claims to a favorable conclusion in the federal and state trial and appellate courts.
