Construction Accidents and Workers Compensation

If you were injured in a construction accident, any claims against your employer are likely covered under workers compensation laws. In most states, this means you can’t bring a lawsuit against your employer. However, that doesn’t mean you are unable to bring legal claims against other responsible parties.

Our construction injury lawyers will bring a claim against any third party that had responsibility for your accident. The owners, architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of equipment can be held responsible for inadequate safety provisions. The general contractor and all subcontractors are required to provide a reasonably safe site, to warn of hazards inherent in the site and work, to hire careful employees, to coordinate job safety and to supervise compliance with safety specifications.

All of these parties, and their insurance companies, have attorneys at their disposal to fight for them. That’s why you need our experienced construction injury lawyers on your side, protecting your rights. If any of these third parties failed to fulfill their responsibilities to you, we will hold them accountable.
