Get Experienced Help From A Construction Accident Lawyer
Injured in a construction accident? You may need an experienced lawyer to help you get fairly compensated for the losses you’ve suffered.
Construction sites can be dangerous, no matter how careful the workers are. They’re working with heavy machinery, for one thing, and accidents can happen at any time. The problem is that you were injured in a construction accident, and you believe someone may have been careless with your safety.
When you’re hurt because of a work site accident, you may need a lawyer from Albright, Stoddard, Warnick & Albright to help you settle your injury claim. Our attorneys are knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated to seeking the maximum compensation you have a right to received for your injuries.
Liability For Your Construction Accident Injuries
First, who’s at fault? The answer depends mostly on who caused the accident. But that doesn’t always mean the person who caused your Las Vegas construction accident is the at-fault party.
Let’s say a construction worker was careless and dropped a brick on you. While they caused your injury, they’re the responsibility of their employer. But if your injury was caused by faulty equipment, like malfunctioning machinery, you may need to sue the manufacturer. Our lawyers can walk you through these choices and help you gather evidence for your claim.
Personal Injury Vs. Workers Compensation After A Construction Accident
Before you commit to a claim, you need to know what kind of claim you need to file. When a work accident happens, you may sue the at-fault party in a Las Vegas personal injury claim, or you may pursue workers compensation. But which do you choose?
If you’re not a worker, you may not have a choice. Workers comp is only available to eligible workers, so you may need to file a personal injury claim. Even if you are a worker, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. For example, your employer may have been willfully careless with your safety, or you may have been injured because of illegal activity happening on the site.
Compensation For Construction Accidents
When you’re hurt in a construction accident, you need to know what your claim is worth as soon as possible. Your injuries won’t get better on their own, and the financial pressure may be building already. You need compensation for your economic and non-economic damages, or losses following your accident.
Your economic damages cover the financial losses you’ve suffered. For example, you may be unable to work, you have high hospital bills, and you suffered some property damage in the accident. We can help you ensure these are added to your claim.
But what about intangible suffering you’ve experienced? That suffering may include things like mental and emotional damages, but can be difficult to prove on your own without the assistance of an experienced attorney. Our lawyers can help you determine the value of these intangible losses.
