Should I consult a personal injury to discuss my construction accident claim?

If you’ve been injured on a construction site, whether you are a construction worker or a pedestrian, it’s always important to consult a Chicago construction accident lawyer.Construction accidents are all too common today. Some of the most frequently reported construction accidents involve: 

  • Falls from ladders and scaffolding;
  • Falling materials;
  • Collisions with trucks or heavy equipment;
  • Electrical shocks;
  • Explosions;
  • Chemical leaks; and
  • Cave-ins during trenching or excavation.  

Personal Injury Lawsuits and Workers’ Compensation LawsIt is true that if you are a construction worker who gets injured during your normal working activities, you are not allowed to file suit against your employer if you accept Workers’ Compensation.However, just because you cannot sue the company that employs you doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. In many cases, there are other parties that can be held liable for your injuries, such as 

  • Property owners;
  • Product manufacturers;
  • Professional installers; and
  • Contractors with other companies working on the same project. 

Possible Damages from Construction AccidentsIf a Chicago construction accident lawyer determines that you have a valid claim, they can help you build a case and attempt to recover compensation for your injuries. Courts commonly award damages to reimburse plaintiffs for medical bills, hospitalization expenses, and physical therapy or rehabilitation costs. In addition, you could receive money to offset the wages you lost from missing work as a result of your injuries.For serious or permanent injuries, Workers’ Compensation alone may not be enough to cover your expenses. Speaking to a qualified Chicago construction accident lawyer can help you learn more about your legal options.
