Construction Accident Cases We Handle

Construction comprises just 8% of the U.S. workforce, but it accounts for roughly 22% of all worker fatalities – the most of any industry. With so many workplace hazards to contend with, construction workers brave significant risks each and every day.

At Aldous / Walker, we have the experience and resources to help construction workers and their families pursue civil lawsuits after all types of work-related accidents and injuries on construction sites, including:

Can I File a Lawsuit After a Construction Accident?

If you or your loved one were involved in a construction accident, you may have the right to file a lawsuit to recover financial compensation for your damages.

Although victims of work-related accidents are typically required to obtain benefits through an employer’s workers’ compensation insurance, there are situations where workers and families may pursue civil claims against a third party (someone who is not their employer) outside of the workers’ comp system.

Third-party claims may arise from:

• Negligent contractors or subcontractors
• Manufacturers responsible for defective products
• Property owners responsible for hazardous conditions
• Motorists who cause car accidents on construction sites

Every case is different, and determining whether you have the right to pursue a civil claim against a third party will depend on the circumstances surrounding your accident, injury, and who was involved.

Recoverable Damages in Third Party Construction Accident Claims

Civil personal injury lawsuits provide injured victims with a broader scope of damages than they would otherwise be entitled to under workers’ compensation. This includes damages such as:

• Pain and suffering
• Lost income and lost future earnings
• Past and future medical expenses
• Emotional and psychological anguish
• Other economic and non-economic damages
