Construction Accidents

Due to the nature of a construction site and the construction industry in general, individuals employed in construction find themselves confronted with dangerous, life-threatening work conditions on a daily basis. Serious accidents and injuries resulting in personal injury and wrongful death occur with alarming frequency at construction sites throughout the country.

Limitations of Workers' Compensation

Many states have workers' compensation laws that severely limit recovery for a construction site accident. In addition, state laws that limit an employee’s ability to sue an employer also generally limit the amount of recoverable compensation for pain and suffering. There may be limits or statutes of limitation on collecting benefits despite indefinite injury. Sometimes, the only way to receive full compensation is to bring suit against a third party, other than the employer, that also bore responsibility for unsafe conditions.
