Mississippi Construction Accident Attorneys
Fighting For Construction Accident Victims
As a construction worker, you work hard each day, building the infrastructure that keeps business, living, and travel possible in America. Your hands shape the landscape of Mississippi and Tennessee, constructing every home, building, bridge and road.
Unfortunately, working with tools and heavy machinery means surrounding yourself with potential safety hazards. If a coworker, inspector, or other party fails to do their job correctly, you may pay the penalty with an injury. A construction accident injury can lead to missed work, physical disability, or worse.

Two Categories of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents occur daily across the country, with many of them resulting in serious injury or death. These “accidents” are commonly placed into one of two categories.
- The first category would involve injury to a bystander as a result of the negligence of management or the work force on a particular construction site. An example of this would be the negligent operation of construction equipment or the failure of a scaffold or a lift which causes a heavy object to fall and injure a pedestrian walking below.
- The second category involves injury to employees working at the construction site. As a matter of course, injuries sustained by an employee while on the job site are covered under state workers compensation laws. There are, however, certain exceptions to this general rule that must be explored by a competent attorney to insure that the injured party is fully compensated for his/her injuries.

“- Keron S.
Wesley Hisaw has represented me with my post divorce modification as well as a faultless MVA case. Divorce is never easy, but mine was exceptionally complicated and sensitive in nature. I was let down by my previous attorney and my trust in legal representation was broken. After my first consult with him, I walked out of his office with confidence in my case. I felt I was exactly where I needed to be and genuinely trusted he would help me, which he did! He is worth every penny and highly recommend! He has ALWAYS been there when I needed his legal guidance and support, extremely responsive and his assurance has never failed me!
