Here to Help
Tunnel construction accidents often result in long-term health problems, time off work, and mounting expenses. Alongside the physical dangers underground, workers also face hidden health risks from prolonged exposure to harmful dust and fumes. Silica dust, in particular, can lead to silicosis and other serious lung diseases, while machinery failures, falls, and tunnel collapses can cause life-changing injuries.
Kells Wollongong acts quickly to protect your rights and pursue compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost wages, and future care. Our goal is to help secure the financial stability you and your family need after an accident underground.
How Our Tunnel Construction Accident Lawyers in Wollongong Can Help
Working in tunnel construction carries unique risks that can lead to serious injury or long-term illness. Our team at Kells understands the intricate nature of these claims and is here to provide professional legal advice throughout the entire process.
One of the most pressing dangers is silica dust exposure, which can cause silicosis and other incurable lung diseases. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with silicosis or another dust-related condition, we can help you access compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, loss of income, and future care needs.
Tunnel work also exposes workers to many other hazards. Our Wollongong tunnel construction lawyers act for clients who have been injured in:
- Tunnel collapses and cave-ins, resulting in crush injuries and trauma.
- Falls from height or into shafts, often causing fractures, spinal damage, or head injuries.
- Machinery or equipment accidents, where heavy plant or malfunctioning tools cause serious harm.
- Electrical hazards and fires in confined spaces, with the risk of burns, electrocution, or toxic smoke inhalation.
- Explosions underground, leading to both physical and psychological injury.
- Slips, trips, and falls, common in poorly lit or wet working environments.
Our role is to handle the legal complexities so you can fully focus on recovering from your injuries. We will investigate your accident, gather expert evidence, and work to establish liability whether it rests with your employer, contractors, or equipment suppliers.
At Kells, we are committed to securing the maximum compensation available to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and the long-term financial support your family may need. With our No Win, No Fee policy, you can pursue your rights without the risk that often comes with upfront legal costs.
