Do I Have a Lawsuit After a Construction Accident?

Many injured workers assume workers’ compensation is the only option.

Workers’ comp may cover medical treatment and limited wage benefits, but it typically does not pay for many of the damages available in a civil claim.

In many construction cases, a separate third-party claim may also exist.

These claims may be brought against parties other than a direct employer, such as general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, equipment companies, or manufacturers.

Identifying third-party liability is often a major key to maximizing recovery.

Responsible Parties in Job Site Injury Cases

Construction projects commonly involve multiple companies working at the same time.

Liability may rest with the party that created a hazard, controlled the area, supervised the work, or failed to correct a known danger.

Potentially responsible parties can include:

• General contractors for coordination failures and jobsite safety issues
• Subcontractors whose work created dangerous conditions
• Site owners for unsafe property conditions or known hazards
• Equipment operators for negligent operation of equipment
• Product makers for defective tools, ladders, scaffolds, or machinery
• Repair contractors for negligent inspection or repair
