The Lawyers to Contact If You’re Hurt in a Construction Accident

You may need more than workers' compensation

The construction industry is one of the more dangerous in which to be employed, even if the companies involved are careful about following safety regulations. An accident can easily happen that leaves a worker seriously injured. At Mani Ellis & Layne, PLLC, we fight to protect the rights of injured construction workers and get them all the compensation they deserve.

The inherent dangers that construction workers face on a daily basis include ladder falls, scaffolding accidents, trench collapse, electrocution, gas explosions, falling tools and other objects and a multitude of other dangers. Safety precautions are required on construction sites. But it only takes one act of negligence to cause an accident.

A wide range of injuries can arise from construction accidents

Some of the more minor injuries construction workers can suffer include sprains and strains and repetitive stress injuries. But accidents can cause much more serious injuries, including broken bones, burns, internal injuries, spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injury.

Injuries from a construction accident may require hospitalization and multiple surgeries. The injured workers may also require medication, therapy and follow-up appointments with doctors. The medical expenses can be overwhelming. And in the meantime, the injuries may prevent the worker from returning to the job.

As workers are eligible for workers' compensation benefits, this will be part of the process of achieving compensation. Another important factor is the issue of third party liability. When another company, whether an equipment manufacturer, subcontracting company, or other has contributed to the injury accident, further compensation can be pursued beyond the benefits of workers' compensation.
