Additional examples of recent verdicts and settlements we have achieved
Construction accidents happen to people both working for the construction company as well as visitors or people passing by the construction site. When a construction worker is injured on the construction site, he may be able to recover workers compensation. In some cases, depending on what caused the accident, construction workers may be entitled to recover from third parties outside of the workers compensation system.
Construction accidents can be complex because of the many parties involved in the construction site including the owner, the general contractor and multiple subcontractors. Sometimes, when the accident is caused by defective machinery, the manufacturer of the defective equipment may also be responsible for the injuries.
