Construction Accidents

Victims of construction site accidents can file a personal injury lawsuit against the individuals or companies responsible for the accident. A personal injury lawsuit will allow the victim to get compensation for his or her injuries, including:

• Medical costs;
• Lost wages;
• Pain and suffering;
• Loss of future income.

If someone is killed in a construction accident, the surviving family can file a wrongful death lawsuit against those responsible. A wrongful death claim will allow the family to get compensation for the loss of a loved one.

When a construction accident happens on the job, the employer may be covered by the company’s workers’ compensation claim. Workers’ comp generally covers medical bills related to the accident and replaces lost income. However, an injured worker may still be able to file a lawsuit against a third-party who was responsible for the accident.
