When a Construction Accident Changes Your Life

Construction sites are busy, loud, and full of heavy equipment. When something goes wrong, the injuries can be serious and life‑altering. Many workers feel overwhelmed after an accident, unsure of what steps to take or how to protect their rights. Medical bills, lost income, and long recoveries can create stress for the entire family.

Some accidents occur because safety rules were ignored or equipment was not maintained. Others involve subcontractors or outside companies working on the same site. Understanding what happened—and who may be responsible—can be difficult without help.

If you’re unsure where to start, Habush Habush & Rottier can help you understand your options. Our team includes construction accident lawyers who review the details of your situation and explain what the law requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

If a worker is hurt on a job site due to the negligent actions of someone who is not a co-employee, the worker may be able to take legal action against the party responsible for their injuries. Contractors, specifically, have a duty to ensure that the property is safe for workers to perform their duties. Contractors typically are required to:

Properly warn workers of potential hazards on the site
Contract with workers who will follow proper safety protocols
Ensure that all safety procedures are followed at all times
Coordinate the project with safety in mind for all workers on site

If a contractor fails to follow the steps listed above, they may be held liable for injuries to workers if an accident occurs.

An accident at a construction site can leave both passing pedestrians and construction workers with serious injuries. Depending on the specific details of the accident, a number of different parties could be held responsible for resulting injuries, including construction site managers / employers, product manufacturers, and third-party workers. We can help identify the responsible parties.

An accident at a construction site can leave someone with severe injuries that may require immediate medical treatment. This can leave a person trying to recover with substantial medical bills that quickly build up. With time being a major issue financially, a person who has been injured should consider filing for compensation as soon as possible. While a person has time to consider their full range of legal options, they also need to file a claim within 3 years in most cases if they want to pursue a claim within Wisconsin’s statute of limitations.

Client Testimonials

In the aftermath of a significant life changing “not at fault” motor vehicle accident, there were many times of darkness, confusion, self doubt and feelings of injustice…. feeling as if I were alone in a dark corner.

Attorney Eric Ryberg and the staff at Habush Habush & Rottier were a bright light in that dark corner. A light to show the correct path out of the darkness. A light to illuminate the pathway to justice, fairness, and common sense in a world where it seems more difficult to find truth and benevolence in all of life’s happenings and experiences.

Truth. Justice. Fairness. Common sense. Genuine. These words are at the core of the structural foundation of the expert legal representation I received from Attorney Eric Ryberg and his team on my behalf. They fought for these things relentlessly…never gave up. They never compromised truth. Never compromised the fight for justice, fairness, or common sense. And because of this, they were able to deliver redemption and justice to the very maximum limit allowed by law.

Never give up. Never settle for anything less than the absolute truth. Never settle for anything but absolute justice. Never settle for legal representation from just any law firm.

Choose Habush Habush & Rottier. Choose Eric Ryberg. Experience the light in the darkness. The light that leads to absolute truth. And uncompromised justice. Light up the darkness.

I worked with Benjamin on a car accident case and he truly went above and beyond. He stayed on top of my case for four years. He was incredible and extremely dedicated. I would recommend him to anyone. Benjamin was also responsive, knowledgeable and kept me informed no matter how small the detail.

Habush Habush and Rottier/HHR: The very best law firm around for auto accident cases. Period, end of discussion. Please trust me when I say they have your back from start to finish, no matter the time it takes to complete your case. I knew nothing about this law firm prior to my initial consultation other than the fact my father spoke so highly of them; as he eloquently put it they’ve been ranked as the best of the best in law firm surveys. My father said, this top notch caliber law firm is where other attorneys would go for representation or advice, that’s how good they are. My father was right on this advice, thank you dad!

Takes a fraction of time to change someone’s life forever for worse or for better. In my case it was from an auto accident where I found my hero at HHR who helped me beyond words of gratitude on the long road of healing. Believe me it can often feel like a lonely road to walk but with the right support it makes every step of the journey that mush easier to navigate. From my experience HHR vigorously turned over every stone to make it right. I’m not one to drop names but this is my review so I’m going to give credit where credit is due..to the best attorney I know, Eric Ryberg! Please ask for Eric by name and when you meet tell him Brandon from the review suggested his service, and share a smile because you’re in good company.

I wrote this review from from the bottom of my heart from one auto accident victim to another, focus on your recovery and let HHR focus on the rest. Like the Prairie du Sac Dam regulates water flow, HHR will keep you informed in a timely manor about your case with a steady flow of utmost important information. This way you’re informed without being overwhelmed. The best way others can thank me with gratitude for my ‘fatherly advice’ is to share your experience from HHR and together we will ensure that help gets to those involved in an accident. God bless you and your family and full speed ahead on your recovery.

Two of my children were involved in an automobile accident. With people injured both physically and mentally from the ordeal, I knew I needed to get an attorney to represent my kids who clearly were not at fault in this incident. Being new to Wisconsin, I called my attorney friend in Michigan who is a partner in a very high profile international law firm. He did some research for me to find the best attorney’s in Wisconsin based on their record. He recommended Ben Wagner at Habush. Let me tell you, it was the best phone call I could have made!

Rather than believing the marketing hype and advertising in the greater Milwaukee area about another law firm, I trusted an attorney to find the best attorney based on his record for his clients. In the end, Ben delivered! He negotiated a settlement that exceeded our expectations, which at least minimized some of the hardship created from this accident.

I would also like to add, going beyond the settlement itself, is to speak to Ben’s demeanor. You don’t just get a top attorney with Ben, you get a family man that is approachable and easy to talk with who answers all your questions and respects you throughout the process. He is the utmost professional!
