Construction Site Accidents: Legal Representation for Workers and Families
If you or a loved one has been injured or tragically killed in a construction site accident, The Law Offices of Eugene K. Hollander can provide expert legal representation to help you seek the compensation you deserve. Construction accidents can occur in various ways, and the injured party’s legal rights depend on their specific role at the site. Whether you’re a construction worker or a family member of someone injured or killed on the job, our experienced attorneys can help.
Workers’ Compensation and Third-Party Claims
Injured construction workers may have a worker’s compensation claim against their employer, which covers medical expenses and lost wages. However, in some cases, compensation through workers’ compensation is limited. Additional financial recovery may be possible through claims against third parties, such as:
- A general contractor if the injured worker was employed by a subcontractor.
- Other tradesmen or contractors whose negligence contributed to the accident.
Our legal team will thoroughly evaluate your case to determine the best course of action and pursue every available avenue for compensation.
Serious Injuries from Construction Accidents
Construction site accidents often lead to severe and life-changing injuries, including:
- Bone fractures and dislocations
- Burn injuries
- Brain injuries (e.g., concussions, traumatic brain injury)
- Herniated or bulging discs and spinal injuries
- Paralysis or permanent disability
- Amputations or loss of a limb
- Wrongful death
If you or a loved one has suffered such injuries, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages and earning potential
- Emotional distress and loss of quality of life
