Construction Site Accidents
Construction sites are often times the place where severe workers compensation or personal injuries occur as there is often times multiple employers, both general contractors and sub-contractors, at the site performing work. These claims often times give rise to both personal injuries and workers compensation injuries. Because of this it is important your attorney understands how to coordinate both claims, including the workers compensation lien that may be asserted against your personal injury claim. Construction site accidents often arise from unsafe steel erection, crane accidents, ladder and roof falls, to equipment failures. A thorough investigation of the construction site is crucial to determine what caused or contributed to the injuries and who or whom is responsible. Insurance companies will have their investigators at the construction site immediately following an accident. The faster you act to retain competent legal counsel is the only way to ensure your rights are protected.
