Get the Right Compensation for Your Construction Site Injuries

A huge fraction of work-related accidents happen in construction sites across the country each year due to negligence or the lack of safety equipment. The injuries involved in a typical construction site accident are usually serious and most victims not lucky enough to escape with merely bruises often suffer from losing a limb, broken bones, and fractured skulls. Victims also suffer from permanent disability, blindness and scarring requiring years of therapy and a lifetime of support which will out a strain on the financial resources of any family involve. The amount of money it takes for anyone to recover from a serious accident at work is huge and the worker’s compensation provided by the company of the victims are often meager amounts not enough to cover the hospital bills and medication costs. Victims who suffered permanent disability should be provided with long-term financial assistance to compensate for their physical and emotional injuries and live life as normally as possible. It is right for victims with injuries that physically limit their capacity to find employment to ask compensation equivalent to the loss of future wages they would have received if it weren’t for the accident.

Our legal expertise also extend to bystanders and victims of road accidents contributed to the lack of public safety measures of construction sites. State and Federal laws make it mandatory for contractors to comply with all the safety regulations so as to avoid construction site accidents. The site owners must prioritize the safety of their employees above all else especially those who must work in scaffolding and high places. Those who are working in construction sites are always aware of the risk involved where the possibility of losing life or limb is real and can happen anytime.

What to Do During a Construction Accident

A formal investigation should be conducted as soon as possible after a construction accident. Access to the scene of the accident should be limited only to the investigating team so as to preserve the evidence needed to determine culpability. Getting the statement of witnesses should be done in accordance to protocol.

If you are involved in the accident, communicating with the official investigating team from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration especially if you have important information that can help the investigation.

If you are severely injured, focus on getting medical assistance first as your injuries could be more serious than they seem. After making sure that your injuries are not life threatening, you can then begin the process of seeking worker’s compensation and receive money equal to the loss you suffered in the accident.
