Workplace & Construction Accident Lawyer

If you have been injured in a workplace or construction accident, you may be dealing with medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about your future. Our personal injury team helps injured workers understand their legal options and determine whether they may have a claim for compensation.

Workplace and Construction Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries

Construction sites and other workplaces can involve heavy machinery, hazardous materials, elevated work areas, vehicles, tools, and other dangers. An accident can happen suddenly and result in serious or permanent injuries.

A workplace accident may require emergency treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and time away from work. In some cases, an injury can affect a person’s ability to return to the same job or earn the same income.

Depending on the circumstances, an injured worker may have rights under workers’ compensation laws and, in some cases, may also have a claim against a third party. Our role is to investigate what happened, identify potentially responsible parties, document your losses, and pursue the legal options available under applicable law.

Workplace & Construction Accident Injuries We Handle

Workplace accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, including:

Fatal injuries or Crush injuries

Spinal cord injuries

Broken bones and fractures or Burns

Traumatic brain injuries

The long-term impact of an injury should be considered when evaluating a claim, not only the immediate medical expenses.

What Can Cause a Workplace & Construction Accident?

Workplace and construction accidents can happen because of:

  • Falls from heights
  • Slips, trips, and falls
  • Construction vehicle accidents
  • Heavy machinery accidents
  • Defective tools or equipment
  • Falling objects or debris
  • Unsafe scaffolding
  • Electrical accidents
  • Fires and explosions
  • Exposure to hazardous substances
  • Unsafe working conditions
  • Lack of proper safety measures
  • Negligent acts by contractors or other parties

Determining the cause of the accident can be important when identifying whether an employer, contractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or another party may be responsible.

How We Can Help After a Workplace & Construction Accident

Our work may include:

Investigating the Accident: We gather available evidence and investigate how the accident occurred and which individuals or entities may have contributed to the incident.

Reviewing Medical Evidence: We document your injuries, treatment, rehabilitation, and potential future medical care.

Reviewing Workplace Evidence: We may examine accident reports, photographs, safety records, equipment information, witness statements, and other evidence relevant to the accident.

Identifying Potentially Responsible Parties : Depending on the circumstances, parties other than an employer may potentially be responsible, including contractors, property owners, manufacturers, or other third parties.

Handling Insurance Communications: We communicate with relevant insurance companies and work to protect your interests throughout the claims process.

Calculating Your Damages & Litigation When Necessary: Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, damages may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other losses. If a third-party claim is appropriate and a fair settlement cannot be reached, litigation may be necessary to pursue compensation.

What Compensation May Be Available?

Depending on the facts of the case and applicable law, compensation may involve:

  • Medical expenses
  • Future medical treatment
  • Lost wages or income
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Rehabilitation expenses
  • Permanent disability
  • Pain and suffering, where legally available
  • Emotional distress, where legally available
  • Other accident-related losses

Workers’ compensation benefits and third-party personal injury damages can operate differently. The compensation available will depend on the type of claim, the parties involved, insurance coverage, and applicable law.

Frequently Asked Questions

A workplace injury may be covered by workers’ compensation, but certain circumstances may also support a claim against a third party. Whether you have a separate personal injury claim depends on how the accident happened and who may be legally responsible.
If a defective tool, machine, or other product contributed to your injury, a product liability claim may potentially be available against a responsible manufacturer, distributor, or other party. The facts of the accident and applicable law will determine whether such a claim exists.
Seek medical attention, report the accident, document the scene if it is safe, identify witnesses, preserve relevant records and evidence, and avoid signing documents or providing detailed statements without understanding your rights.
Depending on the type of claim and applicable law, compensation or benefits may include medical care, lost wages, disability benefits, rehabilitation, loss of earning capacity, and potentially other damages in a third-party personal injury claim.
Deadlines vary depending on the type of claim and applicable law. Workers’ compensation claims may have different reporting and filing requirements than third-party personal injury claims. Prompt legal advice can help you understand the deadlines that may apply.
An attorney may be helpful when you suffered a serious injury, your claim is disputed, a third party may be responsible, a defective product was involved, or your injury could result in significant long-term losses. A lawyer can review the circumstances and explain your available options.
