Injured on a Construction Site Accident and Need Financial Compensation?
The North Carolina Industrial Commission processes tens of thousands of workers' compensation claims each year, and a significant percentage are filed by construction workers. People who work in construction face an array of dangers on a daily basis and are exposed to injury risk almost constantly.
If you have been injured on a construction site and will miss significant work time, it can be essential to contact a lawyer experienced with both workers' compensation claims and personal injury lawsuits. We are prepared to thoroughly evaluate your accident and determine whether you are entitled to workers' compensation insurance alone or whether someone other than your employer should be held accountable for what happened to you.
Decades of Experience Recovering Money for Injured Workers
Construction injuries can strike even the most experienced and careful workers — even on sites where construction worker safety is taken seriously. Falls from scaffolding and other heights, vehicle and heavy equipment accidents, and malfunctioning tools and machinery are just a few of the causes of serious outcomes such as:
- Head and brain injuries
- Back, neck and spinal injuries
- Amputation injuries and serious lacerations
- Burns and exposure to toxic chemicals
- Vision and hearing loss
- Broken bones and severe, disabling strains
