A Third Party Could be at Fault in Your Chicago Trench Accident

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

If you have been injured in a trench collapse accident, you may not think you have additional recourse for compensation as you are not entitled to file a claim against your boss if you receive Workers’ Compensation. However, this is not always the case. Your injury may be the fault of a third party in which case you can file a personal injury claim to recover damages for your injuries and related expenses. Gaining Compensation from a Third Party Construction accidents can usually be blamed on: 

  • faulty equipment;
  • the employing company;
  • you as an employee; or
  • the actions of another individual. 

This can be further complicated by the presence of multiple contractors working on a single project, as often happens on modern construction sites. You do not want to make the mistake of failing to take legal action when the company at fault for your trench collapse injuries may be the maker of your equipment or a separate contractor entirely.An experienced Chicago personal injury attorney can aid you in filing for your deserved compensation from the appropriate party. Hiring a Chicago Personal Injury LawyerYou should be able to recover from your injuries without worrying about confusing court documents and filing paperwork.
