ABOGADOS DE
ACCIDENTES DE CONSTRUCCIÓN

Get medical care immediately, report the injury to your employer, and document everything. Then speak with a construction accident attorney before giving statements or signing anything.

Yes. Many construction accident cases still qualify for compensation even if you share some responsibility. Fault depends on who controlled the site, equipment, or safety measures.

No. While most injured workers qualify for workers' compensation, you may also have a third-party claim if someone other than your employer caused or contributed to the injury.

A third-party claim is a lawsuit against someone other than your employer, such as:

• A subcontractor
• A general contractor
• A property owner
• An equipment manufacturer
• A delivery company

These claims allow you to recover damages workers' comp does not cover.

Yes. Workers' compensation and third-party claims are separate and can proceed simultaneously. Many injured construction workers qualify for both.

Unlike workers' comp, third-party claims can include:

• Pain and suffering
• Full lost wages and future earnings
• Loss of quality of life
• Emotional distress

Common examples include:

• Falls from scaffolding or ladders
• Defective tools or machinery
• Being struck by falling objects
• Crane or heavy equipment accidents
• Electrical injuries
• Unsafe property conditions

An experienced construction accident attorney investigates job site responsibility, contracts, safety violations, and equipment defects to identify all liable parties.

Deadlines vary. Workers' compensation claims must be reported quickly, while third-party claims have strict statutes of limitations. Waiting too long can cost you your case.

We offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee—meaning you don't pay anything unless compensation is recovered. Meaning no out of pocket fees.
