When an individual or a company's negligence contributes to your injury on a construction site, you may be able to sue the negligent party in order to recover compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and other damages. Depending on the size and sophistication of the construction project, potentially liable parties may include: construction management companies, construction site owners, contractors and/or subcontractors, building or property owners, and architects.
Issues in your potential case may include negligent parties non-compliance with occupational and site safety standards, or engineering and manufacturing defects. Your claim should be handled by an attorney in order to protect your rights, and also guide you through the challenges of your lawsuit such as finding the causes of accidents, determining fault (liability and indemnity determinations), applying worker's compensation, and negotiating a settlement that maximizes the compensation for your injuries.
