Construction Accidents in Colorado
Construction is known for being incredibly important to society, as it is what makes it possible for people to go about their daily tasks safely and in a controlled, comfortable environment. Construction allows each person to have somewhere to live, work, go to school, and more. Because construction is an extremely crucial industry, many people will choose to work in construction. However, construction can be a very hazardous field to work in. There are many laws and regulations that are in place to protect construction workers, but accidents still happen. If you have been injured in a construction accident due to another person’s negligence or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation.
Common Causes Of Construction Accidents
Most often, construction accidents are caused by hazardous working conditions and/or due to another person’s lack of care. Many construction accidents are caused by one of the following issues:
- Debris falling from above,
- Falling from a high construction point because of a lack of safety rails,
- Equipment failure due to manufacturing issues or malfunctioning,
- Inadequate protective safety gear, including hardhats, gloves, and eye protection.
- Zero or improper safety training,
- Letting incompetent and inexperienced individuals handle dangerous equipment, etc.
Why You Need Legal Support After A Construction Accident
There are clearly many different potential causes of construction accidents which means that each construction accident case can be very unique and nuanced. Also, many employers are reluctant to pay for injuries caused by accidents, and will do anything in their power to avoid having to provide compensation to their injured workers. This means that if you are looking to obtain compensation after a construction accident, it is important to get in touch with a construction accident attorney.
After you have been injured in a construction accident, you may want to consider reaching out to our talented and experienced attorneys at Lebaron and Jensen. If you have been denied workers compensation and there does not seem to be a clear or reasonable reason as to why, you may be in need of our legal services. We may also be of use to you if your injuries were caused by your employer’s negligence or by another entity’s carelessness.
Your Rights As A Construction Worker
Working as a construction professional gives you certain rights, including the right to file a construction accident claim if you have sustained substantial injuries or if the circumstances of the accident seem to point to some sort of negligence or foul play. There are many laws that are in effect that aim to protect construction workers and help them obtain compensation after a construction accident. If you have been injured in a construction accident, you will need to take certain actions in order to protect yourself and/or receive proper compensation including notifying your employer about the accident, getting proper medical treatment, learning about worker’s comp, and reaching out to a construction accident attorney.

I've enjoyed working with Chase Adams who helped settle a dispute. He proved to be resourceful, diligent, thoughtful and responsive. Personality is as important as the attorney's skill set and experience. Chase Adams will take his time to make sure your expectations are in line with your needs. A settlement is always better than negotiating or fighting with difficult to read Pleadings. What is Chase's strategy? To get great results and stay out of court. But if your case warrants court, Chase Adams is comfortable in front of a judge and at the settlement table. You'll enjoy the effort that the attorney's with LeBaron & Jensen will make to minimize your expense and maximize value.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
