DuPage County Construction Worker Accident Lawyer
On most construction sites, people performing various tasks are simultaneously working at ground level and well above the surface. Workers at heights may be handling and tossing heavy materials, and cranes and scissor lifts may be in use to move everything from boards and beams to heavy loads of soil and rock. A dropped load can be catastrophic.
Even the most experienced, alert construction workers are at risk of being struck by falling objects, especially on busy sites with multiple crews representing multiple contractors and subcontractors. If you have been hit by falling debris and seriously injured, you may need a knowledgeable lawyer on your side to get the compensation you deserve.
Do You Have a Claim Against Someone Other Than Your Employer?
Workers' compensation insurance is likely available to cover essential medical expenses and replace a portion of your lost wages. However, a substantially greater financial recovery may be attainable if we investigate and determine that negligence by someone other than your employer caused your injuries. Examples of this "third-party" negligence may include:
- Failure to barricade and post warning signs in high-risk work areas
- A crane accident resulting from an equipment defect, improper equipment maintenance or operator error
- Inadequate training and supervision of other workers
