Who May Be Responsible in a Construction Accident?

Many parties may have played a part in your injuries at a construction site. Management companies, silent partners, and more may all be part of the team in charge of the site.

You may be able to file the following types of injury claims:

• Workers’ compensation from your immediate employer
• Personal injury, such as premises liability
• Other claims against third parties, such as owners of heavy equipment, outside contractors, subcontractors, drivers, or any party outside of your employer who was negligent

It can be challenging to pinpoint who might be responsible for your injuries. Only through an intensive investigation can the responsible parties be found and the appropriate type of legal action initiated.

In the case of third-party personal injury claims, you may be eligible for damages including:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Disability

Some of these damages are not available through workers’ compensation claims, as the workers’ compensation program limits the amount of money you can receive and how long you can receive it.

Recovering Damages After a Construction Accident

In the case that you suffered injury at a construction site due to negligence of one party or another, the court may award you a variety of damages, such as:

• Medical costs

• Rehabilitative costs

• Costs of future medical expenses

• Lost wages from missed work

• Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering

The damages you are able to recover will heavily depend on your specific circumstance and the attorney you get to represent you. The insurance company will try to decrease the settlement, but our firm will fight for the compensation you rightfully deserve.
