Protecting The Rights Of Construction Workers After An Accident
Last updated on January 30, 2025
Construction sites are by nature dangerous. Construction workers often work at high elevations on scaffolds and ladders, walk near open excavation, and operate power tools, trucks and heavy machinery. When a construction accident does occur, the victim typically suffers a catastrophic or fatal injury: amputation, brain injury, crush injury, electrical injury or a spinal cord injury. Our lawyers at Logeman & Iafrate, P.C., help clients injured on construction sites recover compensation that they need and deserve.
It is important, in order to recover all benefits you are entitled to, to have an attorney with the appropriate experience review your case as soon as possible after a construction accident. If you would like to speak with a member of our firm, contact our office and arrange a free consultation.
Recovering The Compensation You Deserve After Your Accident
Injured workers employed on the construction site at the time of accidents on the job will receive some benefits from workers’ compensation. If you were injured you already realize that those benefits will not cover all of your losses, and provide nothing for pain and suffering. If you have lost a family member in a fatal accident it is difficult to describe the extent of your loss. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the seriousness of your injuries, you may be entitled to additional compensation.
If the owner of the property or the general contractor, not your employer, was responsible for a hazardous condition on the property, you may be entitled to make a negligence or bodily injury claim.
If your injury resulted from scaffolding, a ladder, a tool or heavy equipment that was defective, improperly maintained or dangerous in design, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer, distributor or maintenance contractor responsible for the equipment. If the wall that fell or the trench collapse that crushed you or caused a spinal cord injury was the result of an architectural error, you may have a professional malpractice claim.
