Construction Accidents

An attorney must first determine the negligent party in a construction injury case; for example, a manufacturer of equipment; a defective product or a negligent third party.

An experienced construction accident lawyer will determine if Workman's Compensation law controls the case or is there a responsible third party.

Construction site accidents are unfortunately still commonplace. Thousands of construction workers are injured or killed in a construction site accident each year. Construction companies must inspect each site with safety engineers and provide safety programs, but unfortunately accidents still occur due to the inadequacy of these provisions.

When should I consult a Construction Accident lawyer?

A Construction Accident lawyer should be consulted after sustaining a serious work related injury. Even if for no other reason than to have the worker's compensation system explained to you, and what to expect from the process. There is a substantial likelihood that the insurance company will eventually challenge a worker’s right to compensation benefits, and the insurance company begins preparing a litigation strategy to get an injured worker off compensation from the time that the adjuster opens the file.
