Fighting for Maximum Compensation for Injured Construction Workers
If you have been injured in a construction accident, workers' compensation may not be enough to compensate you for your injuries. Depending on the facts of each case, our attorneys are often able to help clients pursue claims against other negligent parties, such as:
- Property owners: The owners of properties that are under construction, development and renovation have certain legal duties when it comes to the safety of construction workers. We are prepared to help injured workers pursue claims against property owners.
- Contractors: Construction projects typically involve a wide range of contractors, including laborers, carpenters, electricians and teamsters. If you were injured due to the carelessness of a subcontractor or the general contractor, you may have a claim.
- Employers: Normally, you cannot bring a personal injury claim against your direct employer or a fellow employee of that employer. However, if your employer does not participate in the workers' compensation system, we can help you pursue a claim.
When you contact us, our attorneys will immediately start investigating the facts of your case, and if we believe you have a claim, we will get it filed within 24 hours. We will fight for every cent you are entitled to, and we are fully prepared to take your case to court if necessary.
