Thankfully, if you or a loved one experiences an accident that leads to injuries, then there are plenty of construction accident lawyers who can help you determine your best options for financial recovery. Depending on your circumstances, you could be eligible to receive monetary compensation to help you recover from your injury. Learn more about construction accidents, worker’s compensation claims, and how our firm can help you below.
Construction site accident attorneys often deal with a wide range of construction zone injuries. That’s because construction workers face safety hazards when handling various types of tasks. From electrical wiring to working from a height, every day on a construction site offers new dangers. That said, here is an overview of some of the most commonly reported types of construction accidents:
This list doesn’t cover every type of accident you could face at a work site. If you got hurt on a construction job site, then that’s considered a construction accident and injury, even if you perceive the situation to be minor or unrelated to the task at hand. For instance, if you’re working at your job site and trip on a rock, that would still be classified as a ‘construction-related slip and fall’ accident even though the rock wasn’t necessarily a listed job-site hazard.
If you do experience a workplace accident, then the steps you take next are crucial. That’s because there are various laws and regulations in place to protect your right to file for monetary compensation in the event you are injured at work.
Worker’s compensation is a type of insurance that most employers are obligated by law to take out on their employees. When an accident happens, the employer needs to file a report with their insurance company, who will then pay out compensation to the injured employee.
After you’ve been injured in a work-related accident, you should first inform your employer about what happened. After that, it might be a good idea to consult with construction accident attorneys who can help you determine your next move.
You can’t file a personal injury lawsuit through the worker’s compensation system. That said, you may be able to file a lawsuit in certain circumstances. For instance, if your employer didn’t have proper worker’s compensation coverage that was required under the law, then that would be considered negligence. You’d be able to recover your rightful compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit against your negligent employer.
Another potential situation could arise if your employer was intentionally violating safety measures or ordering employees to be in knowingly hazardous working conditions. If you believe your construction-related injury could be unique in that your employer was overly reckless, then it’s a good idea to speak with a construction work injury lawyer about what to do next.
When you get in touch with a construction worker injury lawyer, the first thing they’ll do is listen to your story. They’ll gather facts surrounding what happened, how serious your injuries are, and the extent of your losses. Your lawyer will likely ask more questions to learn more as they go about assessing your accident case. The right legal representation will help direct you on what to do next when it comes to handling your injuries and seeking out rightful compensation either through a worker’s compensation claim or a lawsuit.
There are two main types of damages you can recover through a worker’s compensation claim:
When you file a lawsuit, you can recover damages in the form of medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, and pain and suffering. In general, compensation in both of these situations is meant to financially reimburse you but you won’t be able to collect more than what you actually lost.

Every case is unique, so we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs.
Due diligence got me only so far as I went through three seemingly great law firms before finding Kermani LLP right here on yelp. They were fantastic.
When I was hurt in a bike accident last year, a friend recommended I get a lawyer and sent me to Ray Kermani. Ray and his team knew exactly what needed to be done and took care of everything.
Ray is one of the easiest people to work with. His communication is great and he always walks you through the steps. I was little down after my accident. He got me paid quickly and way more than I thought was even possible. He goes the extra mile.
The staff is super friendly, approachable and responsive. They provide one on one attention, unless most law firms that just answer calls and want you money.
They took what was a complicated case that most law firms wouldn't touch, and turned it into a large six figure judgment.
Best law firm. They know how to win a case at trial, unlike most law firms that advertise as such. They will push every button that needs to be done to win your case. I was super satisfied.
