Construction workers can be injured in myriad ways. They may fall from ladders or scaffolds, trip over debris, be injured by a careless worker, or suffer burns in explosions. Regardless of the cause, construction accidents often cause significant financial losses for workers. Medical expenses can pile up while household bills and rent go unpaid. Workers and families need some way to recover from their losses.
At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., our construction accident attorneys focus on helping construction workers pursue damages for injuries in on-the-job accidents. We are committed to holding negligent parties responsible for accidents that cause life-changing injuries and helping our clients obtain the money damages they need to rebuild their lives.
Many injured workers are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, which provide medical coverage and partial wage replacement. However, workers’ compensation may not cover all an injured worker’s losses. Workers may not sue their employers for injuries, but they can often hold negligent third parties accountable for accidents.
Third-party claims can result in higher damages than workers’ compensation. These personal injury lawsuits can result in damages that include:
Families who have lost loved ones in construction accidents may be able to collect damages for losses their loved ones suffered and injuries for loss of companionship and financial support.
