What types of construction accidents can I file a claim for?

Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and roofs. Equipment failures and crane collapses. Electrocution from exposed wiring. Struck-by and caught-between incidents. Trench collapses. Burn injuries from welding or chemical exposure. If you were hurt on a construction site because someone cut corners on safety, you have a claim — and possibly multiple claims against multiple parties. Call me at 312-500-4500.

Can I recover damages beyond workers compensation for a construction accident?

Yes — and this is where construction cases get interesting. General contractors, subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and architects can all be liable if their negligence caused your injury. OSHA violations are powerful evidence. I pursue every liable party because more defendants means more insurance coverage and a bigger recovery for you.

How much is my construction accident claim worth?

It depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, how much work you have missed and will miss, whether you have permanent limitations, and how many liable parties are involved. Construction accidents often cause catastrophic injuries — amputations, spinal damage, TBI — and those cases are worth significant money. I calculate the full lifetime cost and fight for every dollar.
