Construction Accidents
In a construction accident case, aside from protection by workers compensation laws, construction laws hold contractors, manufacturers of equipment, and property owners liable for personal injury occurring on a construction site.
Construction sites are often subject to hazardous working conditions and general contractors are required to create a reasonably safe work environment, as well as warn workers about hazards at the site or work that may be inherently dangerous.
Even if you have filed for workers compensation, you may additionally be eligible to make a personal injury claim based on a construction accident. Certain dangerous conditions are common to many construction accidents and some of them may include:
- Defective or improperly constructed scaffolding
- Falling structures
- Defective forklifts or careless forklift operation
- Harm resulting from irresponsible or negligent use of equipment
- Defective equipment
- Slips or falls due to material left lying around the site
At the Budin Law offices we have extensive experience representing workers involved in construction accidents. One of our settlements secured $1,200,000.00 and waiver of a $400,000.00 workers compensation lien, for a construction worker who fell off his scaffold, resulting in two herniated discs in his neck.
