Skilled Construction Accident Injury Attorneys
If you've been injured in an accident on a construction site, you may be unsure as to whether - and if so, how - you can get compensation for your injuries, lost wages or other damages you have suffered.
At Harlow, Adams & Friedman, P.C., our focus is on getting answers to your questions and pursuing the compensation you deserve from whoever is legally responsible for your injuries. Generally, if you are hurt while at work, making a workers' compensation claim may be your only option. However, if you were injured by the negligence of someone other than your employer or co-workers, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation, at which we will assess your case. If we agree to represent you, we will do so on a contingency fee basis; you will not owe us any attorney's fees unless we are able to secure a settlement or verdict for you.
Compensating Accident Victims
Construction involves many dangers that can drastically increase when individuals or entities participating in the project recklessly or negligently fail to guard against those dangers. Employees, homeowners, other property owners, people who have business at the site, people visiting the site, passersby and others can be seriously injured or even killed.
The personal injury lawyers at Harlow, Adams & Friedman, P.C., have extensive experience representing clients who have been injured in construction accidents and getting them the compensation they deserve.
What should I do if I am injured in a construction accident?
- Take photos of your injuries and the accident scene if possible
- Take note of any witnesses who may have seen the accident
- Make a list of any tools or equipment you were using at the time of the accident
- Make sure to see a medical provider to diagnose your injuries
Untangling the Evidence
A construction project involves many complex legal relationships between property owners, contractors, subcontractors, employees of all of these entities, and the manufacturers and distributors of construction equipment.
Depending on the facts of your case, there may be a variety of options for pursuing compensation for your injuries, including:
- A personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against one or more entities
- A workers' compensation claim
- A products liability claim regarding defective or dangerous equipment
At Harlow, Adams & Friedman, P.C., we are experienced at sorting out the complexities of construction accident cases and counseling clients on their options. Contact us to discuss your individual circumstances.
