Construction
Accident Attorney

Working on a construction site is dangerous, strenuous work. Construction workers must work long hours at elevated heights, in dangerous conditions and extreme temperatures. A construction worker can be struck by an object, crushed or struck by equipment or machinery, or even electrocuted. There are many reasons why construction accidents occur. In some cases, these accidents can be caused by negligence. If you were involved in a construction accident, you may be entitled to additional compensation outside workers’ compensation benefits, if your accident was caused by the negligence of a third party.

At Avaness Law, our construction accident attorneys understand the complexities of accidents in the workplace, workers’ compensation claims, and third-party liability claims. If you were injured at work and believe it was caused by the negligence of a third party, our legal team can help you pursue compensation for future medical care, pain and suffering, and other damages.

How Can a Construction Accident Lawyer Help Me with My Claim?

A construction worker must work in a high-risk environment. They may fall through holes, fall off scaffolding or from roofs, or they may even be crushed by machinery. Injuries suffered from this type of accident can include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, loss of limb, or even death. If you were injured at work, your first step, after seeking medical treatment, is to file a workers’ compensation claim, which will cover the cost of medical treatment and a portion of your lost wages. However, if your accident was caused due to negligence, you may be able to step outside the workers’ compensation system and pursue compensation from a third party by filing a third-party claim.

Workers’ compensation insurance protects your employer from being sued, but if a negligent property owner, subcontractor, or contractor caused your accident and subsequent injuries, you may be entitled to additional compensation.

At Avaness Law, our construction accident lawyers can help during this difficult time, in many ways, including:

Investigating the accident
Gathering evidence
Interviewing witnesses

Calculating damages
Filing paperwork
Handling all communication with the insurance company
Negotiating with the insurance company
