Construction Accidents Center

If you have suffered an on-the-job injury or illness, your employer may not be the only responsible party. Other third-parties, such as property owners, sub-contractors, architects, equipment manufacturers and others, also may share legal responsibility for your injuries. An experienced construction injury attorney can help you determine who you can seek recovery from for your injuries.

General contractors must provide workers a construction site that is reasonably safe, and they have a legal duty to warn of any defects or hazards at the site, including any hazards inherent in the work being performed. If you have been injured at work due to unsafe working conditions, contact a skilled construction injury attorney to learn more about your legal options for recovering compensation for your injuries.

Your employer is not allowed to discriminate or retaliate against you for filing a claim with OSHA. This includes decreasing your pay, transferring your job, denying you a raise, and other actions. If you feel you have been discriminated against, you have a limited amount of time to pursue protection. An experienced lawyer can explain your rights and options.

Workers' compensation laws may affect your rights to recovery against your employer in your construction accident case. To learn more about workers' compensation laws in your state, contact an experienced workers' compensation lawyer. You may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits to help pay for your medical bills, lost wages and other expenses.
