Medical expenses and wage losses from construction incident injuries are often covered by workers’ compensation. You may, however, qualify for additional compensation if the incident was caused by a subcontractor’s, third – party negligence or by defective equipment

 

• Making a negligence claim: When a delivery truck backs over a worker, when a crane carries too much weight and is improperly setup or secured, or when materials or equipment fall several floors and hits a worker, the injuries can be serious. Talk to an experienced construction accident lawyer.

​

• Filing a dangerous product claim: Construction job sites must make room for accident with machinery, tools and heavy equipment. Most of it is built to comply with stringent safety standards. But when a ladder or scaffold fails, when the safety features on a power tool are defective, or when a forklift malfunctions, the injuries are often serious. It can take more than a workers’ compensation claim to reach maximum recover from the injuries and get back to work.
