Understanding Construction Accidents in Tacoma
Construction sites throughout Tacoma—from bridges and roadwork projects to new residential developments—bring a range of risks for workers and bystanders alike. Washington’s Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) sets strict standards, but even with comprehensive safety rules, serious injuries still occur. Falls, equipment accidents, and site hazards can cause sudden and lasting harm.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Many construction injuries in Tacoma result from:
- Falls from heights, scaffolding, or ladders
- Electrical shocks or burns
- Struck by vehicles or construction equipment
- Trench or excavation collapses
- Faulty or poorly maintained machinery
Our local experience with construction regulations and injury claims in Tacoma gives us insight into how accidents happen and how liability may be shared. We understand the unique elements of construction worksites here, including responsibilities required by site managers and project owners. This knowledge strengthens your injury claim every step of the way.
What to Do After a Construction Site Injury
Your actions in the hours and days after a construction accident can be vital. Taking the right steps can protect your health and your right to recover damages under Washington law.
We recommend these steps if you are hurt on a Tacoma construction site:
- Seek prompt medical care: Visit a provider such as MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital or St. Joseph Medical Center even if your injury seems minor. Documentation of your injuries is essential.
- Report the incident: Notify your supervisor, and ensure the event is documented in writing with both your employer and L&I.
- Preserve evidence: Take photos of the accident site, machinery, or equipment involved, and collect names of witnesses wherever possible.
- Get legal advice: Consulting a construction accident attorney early helps you avoid common mistakes, safeguard your rights, and deal with insurance companies or employer representatives.
If you are unsure how to navigate the process, our attorneys are available to answer your questions and provide specific guidance based on your circumstances in Tacoma.

I am very Lucky to have found Ian De Verna for my attorney. I was injured in a car accident and while Ian was working on my case I was hit by someone again. This time the person had no insurance I was injured again and my brand new car was totaled. Being injured again I was pretty scared but thankfully Ian took on this case for uninsured motorist against my insurance company as well. It was a challenge I am sure but Ian and his staff were very professional and caring the whole time. With all Ian's hard work he was able to get policy limits for both cases. Ian is not only good at his profession but truly cares about his clients and works very hard with his great group of people at Becker Franklin Rovang Injury office
