Construction Accidents and the Law

Construction accidents can be legally complicated. You may have legal rights beyond those provided by workers compensation. At Stolpman Law Group, we make it easy for you to find out if you have what is known as a third-party claim. If you were injured in a construction accident, we will want to know a few things:

  • How did it happen?
  • Did it happen at work?
  • Who caused your injury? Another subcontractor? The general contractor? The owner?
  • Who other than your employer or a co-worker do you think was in some way responsible for the accident that injured you?

If your injury was caused solely by you, your employer or an employee of the same company, you are most likely just eligible for workers’ compensation insurance.

If a third party — someone other than you or your employer — caused or contributed to the accident, you may be eligible to recover damages through a third party liability claim.

Our attorneys have recovered substantial verdicts and settlements for victims of construction accidents in third party liability claims. We pursue compensation for damages, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of earning capacity and more.

Whether your construction accident involved a scaffolding collapse, ladder accident, trench collapse, electrocution injury, construction vehicle, fall from height, defective product or any other type of construction injury, you can depend on our law firm to vigorously pursue compensation for the full extent of damages.
