Construction
Segal McCambridge attorneys bring innovative methods to representing private, public, local and international clients in many areas of construction, including construction site accidents, contract disputes, insurance coverage, OSHA investigations, negligence claims, building code issues, mechanics lien claims, risk management and property damage complaints. We serve as regional and national coordinating counsel for architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, property owners, developers and other construction-related businesses. Segal McCambridge is frequently retained by insurers to represent their insureds throughout the United States.
Our risk-management practice focuses on evaluating safety programs and procedures to identify potential areas of liability. We perform on-site seminars to educate risk and operations managers and workers on safety topics.
