Options For Injured Construction Workers

When a construction worker is injured on the job, employers usually steer the employee to workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation provides valuable benefits for injured workers regardless of who was at fault for the accident. If your injury was caused by the negligence of another party, you may have additional options.

Those who operate construction sites have an obligation to maintain high standards of safety in these already dangerous environments. When they fall short in that obligation, and you are injured as a result, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party. Filing a personal injury lawsuit would enable you to seek damages for pain and suffering and other losses that are not covered by workers’ compensation. We will work as a team of lawyers and legal professionals to go through every detail related to your accident case and seek all of the compensation to which you are entitled.

The company operating the site and the contractor responsible for erecting the scaffold may not be the only responsible parties for an accident. Some accidents are caused by defective products. In this case, we will work on your behalf to hold the ladder or scaffolding manufacturer responsible for the injury you suffered.
