Who is Liable for a Construction Accident?

Construction accidents can sometimes be a result of an honest mistake on the part of the construction worker. However, in many cases, negligence on the part of the building owner, general contractor, subcontractor, construction company or co-worker can play a role in the job site accident injuries workers can end up sustaining. The construction industry can be dangerous if safety equipment isn’t well maintained or if preventing falling objects isn’t achieved.

If you suspect someone acted negligently, whether another worker, the property owner or the construction manager, you can file a personal injury lawsuit that can help you recover compensation for your injuries. A major component of a successful construction accident injury claim is proving negligence on the part of another party. Proving negligence can be a tall task, even for the most determined person. However, a construction accident lawyer with years of experience handling construction injury cases can help you prove negligence in a much more effective manner. More important, we can help you determine who the responsible parties and who should be sued in a lawsuit. We can dig into the specifics of your case, analyzing any evidence available, or conducting an investigation of our own. Different types of construction accident cases have different sets of circumstances. We are well versed in a variety of construction accident cases.

Our law office can utilize videos, testimony from eyewitnesses like other workers, pictures, and expert witness testimony to successfully prove negligence in your case. You should hire an attorney for personal injury with a track record for results, especially with so much at stake. Contact our personal injury lawyers today to get started on your accident claim as soon as possible.

What are Common Construction Accident Damages that I Can Recover?

Construction accidents vary from each other. Every victim of a construction accident can have a totally different set of circumstances than the next. However, there are common damages that are claimed in construction accidents that help injured workers like you get back on their feet sooner than later. One of these damages includes getting compensation for medical expenses you have paid for out of pocket. Chances are, you sought out medical help for your injury. Doctor visits, hospital visits, surgical procedures, and everything else in between can add up. Paying those medical bills out of your own pocket is not right. We can help you get back compensation for any medical costs you had to pay for out of your own pocket following your construction site accident. Depending on your circumstances, we can also help you recover compensation for future medical costs you might have to pay as well.

Along with covering your medical costs, we can seek compensation for lost wages you have suffered as a result of your construction site injury. Mending your injuries may take several days, weeks, or even months to achieve. In this regard, missing time from work is almost a guarantee, depending on the injuries you sustained. An injury lawyer can help you recover damages for lost wages you have already incurred and wages you may lose in the future. Of course, injuries don’t just impact your physical and financial health. Your emotional health may also take a major toll during your recovery. Claiming pain and suffering as a damage can help you recover compensation for the mental pain you have suffered throughout your construction accident process. Depression and other emotional problems can stem from construction-related injuries. While it might be more difficult to prove because of the subjective nature of the claim, an injury lawyer from our law firm can help you prove the extent of your pain and suffering in order to get you the most compensation possible for your claim.

Should I Hire a Construction Accident Attorney?

Hiring a construction accident attorney can help keep the insurance company on the other side of your claim in check.

Injury lawyers from our law firm know what it takes when it comes to dealing with insurance companies.

We’ve collectively negotiated fair settlements for thousands of clients over the years. While our goal is to settle your case outside of court, we may have to represent you in a trial in any instance where an insurance company isn’t budging on its position.
