Know Your Rights After a Construction Site Injury

Last Updated on October 15, 2020 By Ayesha Saeed Leave a Comment

From falling objects and malfunctioning tools to short circuits, a construction site is far from safe for the labor force.  

Getting injured on the job site can have devastating consequences. While being out of work for an extended period can be stressful in itself, your medical bills also go beyond what you can afford.

When injured in a construction site accident, it is best to hire an experienced lawyer for legal representation and knowledgeable advice. Here are some suggestions from Scura personal injury attorneys to protect your rights in case of a construction site injury.

Filing a Worker’s Compensation Claim

As part of the worker’s compensation claim, you should first consult a well-qualified doctor and get proper medical treatment. Reporting the date and time of your injury to your employer at the earliest is highly recommended. Rest assured, you can start receiving your claims.

Some reputed law firms do not handle such claims; instead, they will refer you to trusted compensation law agencies. In the mean-time, the personal injury law firms will investigate the prospects of a third-party liability claim.

Filing a Third-party Lawsuit

You can be considered third-party liable if your attorney found the other party’s actions or malpractices injured you. A subcontractor can also be held responsible for committing errors on the job that led to your accident.

A seasoned attorney can review your case to determine if a third-party is liable, helping you win additional compensation for your losses.

Filing a Product Liability Lawsuit

It’s not always that you incur injuries due to the other party’s negligence. You can also meet with accidents due to defective equipment or construction material.

In such situations, you can file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer of the defective equipment. Your attorney will have to prove the equipment was dangerous when the defendant left it unattended, to register a confirmed win in your favour.

Accepted Types of Construction Accidents

Though the state laws protect your rights in the case of your accident on the construction site, you are entitled to use your rights only in specific scenarios.

A skilled personal injury lawyer will review your case for specific accidents like falling from a roof, falling debris, scaffolding collapse and heavy machinery malfunction. If they find any of these accidents applicable in your case, they will pursue your lawsuit, ensuring justice. 

Mediation on Compensations

If your case is strong and all the pieces of evidence are in your favour, then hiring a top-notch personal injury attorney is the best legal step. These attorneys are highly competent in negotiating with the insurance company of the defendant.  

Having an able legal team by your side will compel the other party to request mediation rather than a trial to settle at a reasonable compensation. It is an opportunity that your lawyer will utilize to get you the best possible remunerations.

If you endure a construction site injury on the job, do not lose hope. Contact a credible personal injury attorney who clearly understands the extent of your injuries and your financial situation. Rest assured that they will do the groundwork and help you get the right compensation while you focus on getting back on your feet.
