Construction Accident Attorneys
Construction workers have some of the most key jobs in the United States, but also, some of the most dangerous ones, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Even with all the safety rules and regulations established by OSHA, employment contracts, and safety equipment, construction accidents can still happen even to the most safety-conscious of workers as a result of another person’s negligence or unsafe working conditions.
Construction accidents are commonly caused by:
- Falling objects, such as building materials, site debris, scaffolding, tools, equipment, cranes, crane loads, ladders, and even other people
- Falls from heights, especially when safety guard rails and other protective equipment fail, are poorly maintained, or are improperly installed
- Dangerous and/or defective tools and equipment, such as improperly manufactured machinery that can malfunction and result in severe injuries
- Negligence in hiring, training, and supervising practices, such as hiring workers with inadequate experience, failure to properly monitor workers, and not giving proper training
- Lack of access to protective equipment, such as for the eyes, face, and respiratory system
- Inadequate safety compliance and hazard communication
- Motor vehicles, since many construction sites have significant traffic, and without properly marked and maintained paths, accidents can occur
Thus, construction accident claims are exceedingly common, and yet simultaneously, they devolve into very complex cases. Employers do not always pay construction accident claims freely, or fairly. With the wide range of construction accidents there are and how very common and serious they can be, it’s important to have an experienced attorney in your corner who knows the ins and outs of the legal system and provide you with strong representation in order to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
Know Your Rights In A Construction Accident
In many cases, if you have been victim to a construction accident, you’ll be limited to what workers’ compensation provides you for recovery from your losses. These workers’ compensation laws are meant to benefit both you and your employer through providing you with financial compensation while preventing you from suing your employer, in most cases. Workers’ compensation provides damages for losses such as medical bills and lost wages, but not for other losses like pain and suffering.
However, there are cases where you can still file a construction accident claim, depending on the state you are in and the circumstances of the accident. If you’ve been involved in a construction accident, there are several things you can do in order to support a potential claim, such as notifying your employer about the accident, seeking medical treatment, learning about workers’ compensation, and consulting with an attorney.
Construction accident litigation is very complex, and it takes an experienced attorney with the right knowledge to be able to navigate such cases and win. You may consider consulting with an attorney about your construction accident if your employer denied workers’ compensation in bad faith or didn’t have enough or any workers’ compensation coverage, your injury occurred because of the employer’s negligence or misconduct, or if the party responsible for the construction accident wasn’t the employer.
