Construction sites usually involve numerous workers performing many jobs, sometimes using heavy equipment. Sometimes, construction workers work while exposed to passing vehicles, working in limited light, and in harsh weather conditions.
It is easy to see why construction work is one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States.
Construction accidents can cause catastrophic injuries resulting in death or life-altering damage. Workers’ compensation benefits are available to most employees, however, these benefits are usually inadequate for the injuries suffered in construction accidents.
If another party was even partially at fault in the accident that caused your injuries, you may be able to file a personal injury claim in addition to receiving workers’ compensation benefits.
