Your construction accident lawyer will fight for the best possible results on your behalf while you concentrate on healing.
A construction site is only as safe as its operators and supervisors. A poorly managed or maintained construction site can contain many injury risks and health hazards, such as broken equipment or a lack of warning signs. These issues increase the risk of a dangerous or deadly construction site accident.
Common types of harmful construction accidents include:
It is a construction company’s legal responsibility to ensure the reasonable safety of a construction site. The negligent failure to maintain a safe construction area can make the company liable (legally responsible) for an injured victim’s losses.
If there are signs or evidence that your construction accident should not have occurred, you may have grounds to hold one or more parties liable for your injuries. Depending on the nature of your accident, you may have grounds to file a workers’ compensation claim, work injury lawsuit, premises liability claims or product liability case.
Pursuing compensation after a construction accident in Denver could result in reimbursement for your losses and future foreseeable expenses. Available compensation may cover past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. If a loved one died in a fatal construction accident, funeral and burial costs may also be recoverable.
