Construction Accidents

Construction Accidents and Personal Injury Attorneys

Many injured workers claims arise out of construction site accidents. The nature of the work and the high risk equipment can result in serious injuries including head trauma, neck and back injuries, knee and joint injuries, permanent injuries, including paralysis, even wrongful death.

Our lawyers are committed to helping you recover the compensation you deserve after a serious construction site injury. Contact us today. You may be entitled to Social Security Disability or Workers’ Compensation.

A construction site accident may leave you or a loved one severely injured, even permanently disabled. Our attorneys will take a comprehensive approach to your case addressing all of your immediate and future needs. We will work aggressively to secure the benefits you are entitled to and to restore your family’s financial security after a serious construction site accident injury or wrongful death.

If you or someone you love has suffered an injury in a construction site accident, you may be entitled to significant compensation through Workers’ Compensation benefits or a personal injury claim.

Can I Sue My Employer for a Construction Site Accident Injury?

No. If you are injured on a construction site as an employee, you typically cannot sue your employer, though you may be entitled to workers’ compensation and disability benefits. Workers comp is available to individuals who suffer a personal injury on a worksite in lieu of filing a lawsuit against an employer.

Can I File a Lawsuit Against a Non-employer Party?

Yes. If you suffered an injury on a construction site, you may be able to file a lawsuit against a general contractor, owner, or a negligent sub contractor if they caused the injury. Often in motor vehicle accident cases involving a work related injury, you can file a claim against another negligent party in addition to recovering workers compensation benefits. While we will not handle your personal injury claim, we help you find an attorney and handle the workers’ compensation claim.
