About Construction Accidents
The construction industry can be extremely dangerous. In 2009, 244,000 people were injured in construction accidents. Common construction accidents include electrical accidents, falls, scaffolding failure, trenching and excavation accidents, and other injuries resulting from supervisor negligence.
When an accident occurs, an injured worker may be eligible for certain types of compensation. One type of compensation is workers' compensation benefits. If the injured employee does not accept workers' compensation benefits, they are able to sue their employer for the accident using legal theories such as negligence.
Employees are not the only ones who can be injured in construction accidents, occasionally visitors or people passing by the construction site may be harmed. In these instances, workers compensation would not be available to the injured party. Instead, they may recover for their injuries using legal theories such as negligence or other options provided by the particular state's law.
Regardless if you were injured while working, visiting, or passing by a construction site, you are entitled to receive compensation for your injuries.
If you have been injured in a construction accident you may be entitled to a cash settlement. Please complete the form and one of our attorneys will contact you, or call 1-800-LAW-FIRM now.
