Protecting Construction Accident Victims
With multiple contractors, heavy machinery and work that has to be done at a significant height, construction sites can be hazardous places. We protect the rights of workers, pedestrians and visitors who have been injured in a wide range of construction accidents, including:
- Vehicle collisions
- Falling debris
- Scaffolding falls
- Cranes handled improperly
- Defective or dangerous machinery
- Burns and electrical accidents such as electrocution
You do not have to be a construction worker to be injured in a construction accident. If a work site is not properly guarded or there are not proper signs, pedestrians and drivers can unknowingly enter a construction site and suffer injuries from unsafe conditions. We can help you understand your options and bring a claim against the negligent property owners and other responsible parties.
Personal Injury Claims vs. Workers Compensation
While every injured worker is entitled to workers' compensation, there is a limit to the amount you can receive for your medical bills, lost wages and other expenses. If someone besides your employer or a co-worker is responsible for the conditions that led to your accident, you can file an additional personal injury claim. Unlike a workers' compensation claim, there is no limit to the amount of compensation you can receive in a personal injury claim.
