Construction Injuries
Construction injury cases are often very complex. Workers compensation issues can become entangled in a personal injury claim, and there may be liability on the part of multiple parties such as equipment manufacturers and suppliers. Leaving out one of these possible defendants can prove fatal to your claim.
Insurance companies may contact you directly and create the impression that they're on your side and interested in making sure that you get the compensation you deserve. In fact, though, the job of the insurance company representative is to save his company money-to keep them from having to pay you! An "off the record" conversation with an insurance company employee could cost you your case.
Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney
An attorney who handles the complexities of construction injury cases should know which parties must be involved in your case, and what potential liability each has. And, a construction litigation attorney will be prepared for the potentially long, involved process of managing a construction injury case.
Familiarity with the construction industry and injury litigation allows a personal injury attorney to organize and manage all of the deadlines, notice requirements, discovery, expert witnesses, and other evidence required to try a construction injury case.
If you work in the construction industry, you know that working conditions can be dangerous. Precautions like goggles and steel-toed boots protect against some injuries, but the hazards are still significant: heavy equipment, construction materials, and the necessity of working at great heights on unfinished structures, among others.
But knowing that isn't enough-you have to be able to prove it.
If you've been injured in a construction accident, consider discussing your case with a personal injury attorney who handles construction cases.
