Montgomery Construction Accident Lawyer

Construction Accidents

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries for workers, with thousands of construction accidents every year. Some of these construction accidents are merely unfortunate, unpreventable accidents, but many could be prevented through adherence to safety protocol and reasonable care. If you’ve been injured in a construction accident, you may be able to make a Workers’ Compensation claim, or file a lawsuit to recover damages from an employer or third party.

Construction Accidents and Workers’ Compensation
Many construction companies are completely above-board, and protect their employees through Workers’ Compensation policies. If you’re injured through the course of your job on a construction site, you’re almost always eligible for Workers’ Compensation. Unfortunately, many Workers’ Compensation insurers are reluctant to pay out on claims, and may fight your benefits.

You may have to work with a personal injury attorney to get your Workers’ Compensation company to pay your medical bills and lost wages. In some cases, if you become permanently injured, Workers’ Compensation may be required to make you a long-term settlement or offer you retraining benefits. If you have questions about what type of Workers’ Compensation benefits you’re eligible for, or if your Workers’ Compensation company isn’t paying what you think you deserve, consult an attorney.

Construction Accidents and Third-Party Liability
In some cases, a construction accident is the fault of a third-party. Some construction accidents, for example, may occur because of faulty parts or building equipment, or as a result of a faulty job completed by a subcontractor. If a third-party is responsible for your construction accident, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit to recover medical bills, lost wages and other costs from the third-party. Things like shoddy workmanship, unsafe equipment that is provided or maintained by another company or other third-party issues may warrant filing a separate lawsuit, even if you are receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits.
