Proven Advocacy For Injured Construction Workers

After an accidental injury at a construction site, the injured and their family members often face a daunting uphill battle. If you are in this situation, your first priority is your healing and ongoing physical recovery. Financial concerns go hand-in-hand with your medical needs. An attorney’s guidance can be as essential to your overall outcome as a doctor’s skillful care.

  • Lost income
  • Difficulties that may last for months or years

Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Accidents

If you have questions about your rights and other aspects of construction accidents, you’re not alone. Below are answers to common questions.

What is the most common type of construction accident?

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the most common accidents in construction work include:
  • Falls, whether from ladders, scaffolding, roofs or other heights
  • Equipment accidents involving vehicles or heavy machinery
  • Falling objects, which can cause serious injuries
  • Electrical injuries, including burns and electrocution

What sources of recovery do I have if I am injured?

If the accident happened at work, you’re entitled to workers’ compensation, regardless of who was at fault. Your benefits will depend on the nature and extent of your injuries.
 
If another party was at fault – that is, not your employer or a fellow employee – you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit for damages not covered by workers’ comp, such as full wage replacement and pain and suffering. Other parties may include the general contractor, a subcontractor, the property owner, or the manufacturer or distributer of defective equipment.
 

What if I’m not able to return to my job?

Workers’ comp may provide benefits for retraining. You can also seek compensation for loss of future earnings. An attorney can help you explore your options.
 

What if I’m an undocumented worker?

You are entitled to benefits from workers’ compensation if you were injured on the job, regardless of your immigration status. You may also have the right to sue third parties whose negligence contributed to your injuries.
 

Can my employer fire me for filing a workers’ comp claim?

No. It is against the law for your employer to retaliate against you for pursuing workers’ compensation.
