Construction Accident Lawsuit
Were you in a construction accident? You may be entitled to significant compensation!
Construction Accident Lawyers
Construction sites are among the most hazardous workplaces, with thousands of accidents occurring each year. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 1,066 workers lost their lives in construction-related accidents in a single year. Additionally, approximately 195,600 non-fatal injuries and illnesses were reported within the industry.
Whether you’re a construction worker or a visitor to a job site, seeking legal representation can significantly improve your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Your Rights After a Construction Accident
For workers, filing a lawsuit against an employer may not always be an option due to workers’ compensation laws. However, if your injury was caused by a defective product, faulty machinery, or the negligence of a third party (such as a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer), you may be eligible to pursue a Third-Party Claim.
Common Types of Third-Party Construction Accident Claims:
- A driver not affiliated with the employer who strikes a construction worker
- A defective product or machine that causes injury or death
- A property owner failing to maintain a safe work environment
- A fall caused by factors unrelated to the employer or coworkers
- A negligent contractor whose actions lead to an accident
Types of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents can occur in many ways, including:
- Falling objects
- Scaffolding collapses
- Defective or malfunctioning safety equipment
- Tripping hazards
- Electrical accidents and electrocution
- Machinery malfunctions (cranes, forklifts, nail guns, conveyors, etc.)
Visitors or non-workers allowed onto a construction site without proper safety measures are also at high risk of injury. Inadequate barriers, temporary fencing, or improperly marked safety zones can create dangerous conditions.
Common Construction Accident Injuries
Construction site accidents often result in severe injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures and broken bones
- Sprains, strains, and ligament tears
- Amputations
- Severe burns
