Walls and trenches must be properly braced or shored in order for them to be sturdy and safe for people to work around. Unfortunately, excavation and shoring is often done improperly, resulting in devastating accidents and injuries.

We work with a wide network of experts who can help us re-create the incident and identify the negligent party. We will then show the judge or jury how your injury or loss has impacted you and how it will affect you and your family far into the future.
