Jacksonville Construction Accident Attorney
Hurt on the Job? We Can Help!
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 Jason K.S. Porter, P.A. for help.
At The Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A., our Jacksonville construction accident lawyers 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 us today if you were injured on a work site.
What Compensation Am I Entitled To?
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 attorney 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.

It was a great experience working with them. They went out of their way to help- J.C.

When I got into an accident, I didn't think I needed a lawyer. However, everything was so confusing and the insurance company was being very pushy. Once I decided I needed to contact a lawyer, I wasn't sure who to call. On the recommendation of a friend who had used him in the past and had a very good experience, I called Jason Porter. I was given an appointment the next day and it was during that appointment I knew I had contacted the right law firm. Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand. He assured me that I would not need to do anything but to get better and he was right! He and his amazing paralegal handled everything so I didn't have to deal with all of the confusion of the insurance company while trying to heal from the injuries I sustained in the accident. Ultimately my case was settled with the insurance company and I received a very fair settlement. I am hoping I never have to use a lawyer again, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Mr. Porter again.

"Bad things happen to good families and people” That is one of the first things Jason said to me and my son. The laws are set to protect us. However, the law can be black and white when there are several shades of grey. If a man has a beer in his own house after coming back from war but is only 20, should his dad be charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor? Have you ever done something now looking back, it may not have been the best decision but nothing happened? That was not the case a few years ago to my family. A bad decision, one I am sure many of us have done in our younger days. A bad decision was made and it could have ruined a young man’s future. The courts are busy and things can fall through the cracks; I was making sure my son was not one of them. I knew Jason had worked for the District attorney’s office so he knew both sides of the law. He knew what the other side was going to do and say because he was there for many years. He prepared our family through each and every step. He made sure that we were proactive “getting ducks in a row” so to speak. If there was something mentioned, we had already taken care of it and showed no history and really no where for the other side to go. What could have been jail time ended up being a bump in the road. No one can promise anything is a sure thing. Jason did not make any promises he was not prepared to keep. He told us what normally happens, and what he was going to try for and he did. I rather have someone say there is a 70/30 chance than, “sure this is no problem, don’t worry about it”. We do worry about it. It is our lives or one of someone we love. Some cases may not be life or death, but they all are between a life that could be and a life that never will be. Jason understands that and approached it as if was his brother standing next to him. Every now and then, I will look at my son when eating dinner or something and think, if it was not for Jason and his group, I would have to visit my son to see him. I thanked God for Jason being there then, and have every day since.

My divorce litigated for close to two years as it was highly contentious and involved more complexities. Ms. Carlucci did a wonderful job of helping me understand and navigate the legal system. Ms. Carlucci set realistic expectations and was willing to listen to my concerns, questions, and thoughts. Divorce can be a very grueling and hard process. Ms. Carlucci provides great support and promotes collaboration with her clients.

I have had several cases with Mr. Porter as my attorney. He went to bat for me and fought hard to get a great outcome every time! He is a top-notch attorney in Jacksonville and very professional & honest when dealing with each scenario of my cases. My life is in a much better place today because of Jason's integrity within the community and relationships with the judges & state attorneys.- Josh C.

I haven't had a lot of legal problems in my life but enough to truly evaluate my attorneys. By far Jason Porter makes you feel like you are his only client. He knows the law and the legal loop holes. To boot he is a heck of a nice guy. You can trust him with your life. You feel that he loves his work and really cares about you. You couldn't find a better lawyer anywhere.- Ed W.
