Injured in a Construction Accident?
Call Toll Free: 1-866-538-8420
Construction work is one of the world's most dangerous occupations. Despite strict OSHA regulations, accidents and injuries are common.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 1,239 people in America died in construction accidents in 2006, about a third of the fatalities involved falls.
If you were seriously injured in a construction accident or if someone you love died because of an on-the-job injury sustained at a construction site, you need solid legal advice.
Construction accidents are legally complex. It is important to know your rights.
- We represented a Tucson nurse who was crushed under several tons of concrete and steel when a hospital Emergency Room Ambulance canopy collapsed.
- We represented a local HVAC contractor who fell and shattered his ankle and leg when the framing he was walking on broke underneath him.
Please contact the construction accident attorneys at Kinerk, Beal, Schmidt, Dyer & Sethi in Tucson. We will listen to you describe your situation and clearly explain your legal rights and options.
Not everyone who is injured on the job can sue for damages. In most cases workers' compensation is all you are entitled to receive because employees covered by workers' comp cannot bring an injury claim against their employer.
Third Party Construction Accident Claims
However, if your injury was caused by a third party — someone other than your employer or another employee of your company — you may be able to file a third party claim. If successful, these claims typically result in a greater amount of compensation than workers' comp provides because they include compensation for pain and suffering, which is not covered by workers' compensation.
Our lawyers represent clients who have been injured in all kinds of construction accidents, including those involving falls from roofs, scaffolding, ladders and stairways; electrical injuries, trench collapse, construction vehicle accidents, explosions, nail gun and power tool accidents, defective products and more.
