Construction accidents happen all the time. Let's face facts. Construction sites are dangerous places. There's heavy machinery moving, it's a high noise environment, people don't hear them. There are elevation changes, there are fall hazards. You always wanna look at the OSHA standards for fall prevention. You wanna see if people were required to clip or provided places to clip to. You wanna see if barriers were marked. But the key thing about a construction accident is is that it may not involve only workers' compensation. There may be a third party at fault, the party who should have put up the barrier or a concrete worker who runs over a framing carpenter. Those involve third party cases and rather than just be limited to workers' compensation, which is small, a good attorney might be able to find a third party responsible and bring them into the case and get more money. So if we can help you, give us a call.
