FAQs
Avoiding construction site accidents relies on strict adherence to safety regulations established by OSHA and site-specific protocols. Employers and contractors must prioritize safety by providing proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), ensuring equipment is well-maintained and inspected regularly, and offering comprehensive training to all employees. Despite these precautions, accidents still occur. If you are injured, the experienced personal injury lawyers at Herrling Clark Law Firm can help determine if safety failures contributed to your harm.
The most common causes of construction site crashes and injuries include:
- Falls from roofs, scaffolding, or ladders.
- Being struck by objects or equipment (like falling tools or crane loads).
- Electrocutions due to exposed wiring or improper grounding.
- Being caught in or between machinery or equipment.
These incidents can result from negligence. If you suspect negligence led to your work related injury, contact Herrling Clark Law Firm immediately to speak with a dedicated injury lawyer.
Immediately following a construction accident, your priority is medical care. Even if you feel fine, report the injury to your supervisor right away and insist that an accident report be filed, documenting the date, time, and circumstances of the incident. Collect contact information from any witnesses, and if possible, take photos of the accident scene and your injuries. Acting quickly and correctly is vital to preserve your claim. Contact Herrling Clark Law Firm today.
Proving liability in construction accidents can be complex, as multiple parties may share responsibility. While most work related injuries are covered by Workers’ Compensation (a no-fault system), you may have grounds for a third-party liability claim against a party other than your direct employer if their negligence caused your injury. Contact a skilled attorney from Herrling Clark Law Firm, to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Filing a claim after a construction accident typically involves two separate tracks:
- Workers’ Compensation Claim: Promptly file for workers’ compensation to get wage and medical benefits, regardless of fault.
- Third-Party Personal Injury Claim: A claim against negligent non-employers to recover pain and suffering, not covered by an employer.
You don’t have to navigate these separate and complex claims alone. Get the legal strength of the personal injury attorneys at Herrling Clark Law Firm.
