Construction workers are accustomed to operating in a hazardous environment, and they generally employ safety equipment and follow procedures to avoid accidents. As a construction worker, you have a right to demand that your co-workers perform at the highest levels of caution and do everything in their power to prevent injuries, which may not only be painful and expensive to treat, but could cost you your livelihood. When you have suffered an injury in a construction accident, you can turn to Problems? Pick Porter!™ for help.
At Problems? Pick Porter!™, our experienced personal injury attorneys have dedicated their careers to fighting for the rights of injured victims. When the site owner, contractor, sub-contractor, or anyone else in the chain of command fails to maintain a safe work environment, you deserve the chance to seek compensation to help cover the costs of your injury, recovery, pain and suffering, and more.
Reach out to a Jacksonville construction accident lawyer today if you were injured on a work site.
Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury lawsuit, workers’ compensation, or a combination of both.
Our state legislature recognizes the hazards of construction work and consequently makes it mandatory for construction companies to carry workers’ compensation insurance, as well as requiring subcontractors to supply proof of workers’ compensation coverage. Your settlement from your employer may be limited to workers’ compensation benefits, but there is a possibility that you can sue a third party whose negligence caused or contributed to your workplace injuries.
Accidents caused by falling tools and lumber, carelessly operated heavy equipment, falls from rooftops, scaffolding or ladders, electrocution, and welding can lead to injuries requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitative treatment. Whether you have suffered a spinal cord injury, brain injury, or other harm, a Jacksonville construction accident lawyer from our firm can work to help you maximize the amount you receive in a settlement. If the injury has forced you out of work or made it impossible for you to continue in the construction industry, you cannot afford to take risks with your claim.
