Work Place Injury & Construction Accidents: Know Your Rights

If you have been injured on the job or at the construction site, it’s important to know your rights. Construction sites can have many hazards, and your injury may be related to negligence or recklessness of another on the job site.

Working directly with an insurance company can mean your rights to medical care and compensation is discounted.

We have represented workers who have suffered injuries caused by:

  • Accidents with construction equipment and machinery
  • Scaffolding collapse
  • Burns and electrocutions from wiring
  • Injury due to heavy lifting
  • Damage from fumes, chemicals or poor ventilation
  • Roadway construction accidents
  • Falls
  • and more

After a construction accident or work place injury you may be experiencing loss of wages, need from ongoing medical treatment, loss of your livelihood due to injury, and more. We know how to help!

You may be entitled to both workers’ compensation benefits and civil damages that can include the cost of your medical care after the injury, the loss of employment wages, the loss of future earning capacity and the pain and suffering you experienced because of the injury.

Before you speak to an insurance company, call us at 619-595-0303. There is no obligation. Let us tell you more about your options and rights.
