When you've been hurt at work, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a workers' compensation claim. For most injured workers, that is their only option. In the case of construction accidents, however, you may also have a third-party personal injury claim — if the party responsible for the accident or injury was not your own employer or a coworker.
Common construction accidents where third parties may have played a role include:
- Falls from scaffolding
- Falling objects
- Dangerous or faulty machinery or tools
- Defective equipment
- Heavy equipment accidents
- Crane accidents
- Ladder accidents
- Chemical leaks and toxic exposure
- Explosions
- Electrocution
Third-Party Liability Claims After Construction Accidents
The first step in a construction accident claim is determining who was at fault. In addition to your employer and coworkers, there may have been many unrelated parties on the construction site. Contractors, sub-contractors, and landowners could be responsible as well as manufacturers of faulty industrial equipment, dangerous chemicals, defective machines, and other products.
Mitchell Shapiro will investigate the accident to determine who is at fault. He has significant experience handling complex personal injury cases such as those involving third-party liability — or those resulting in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.
