Understanding Your Legal Options After a Construction Injury

Construction accident claims are more complicated than typical workplace injuries because multiple parties can be at fault. We help you explore all potential avenues for recovery:

Workers’ Compensation Claim: As an employee, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, which cover medical bills and a portion of your lost wages, regardless of who was at fault. We can help you file your claim, fight a denial, or ensure you are receiving the maximum benefits allowed.

Third-Party Personal Injury Lawsuit: If your injury was caused by the negligence of someone other than your direct employer or a co-worker, you may have the right to file a separate lawsuit. This allows you to seek damages not covered by workers’ comp, such as pain and suffering. 

Liable third parties can include:

General contractors or property owners

Subcontractors from other companies

Engineers or architects

Manufacturers of defective equipment or machinery
