Problem #2:

Determining Liability

In many cases, there are multiple parties that are legally responsible for your injuries. For example, in a typical motor vehicle accident, the driver is almost always responsible for the damages that result from the accident. However, if a defect in the vehicle's brakes caused the accident, then the manufacturer could also be held liable. Similarly, in a construction accident, the general contractor is usually considered to be liable for injuries caused by the negligence of its employees. In some cases, subcontractors may also be responsible if they are negligent or fail to comply with safety regulations. In order to determine who is responsible for your injuries, your attorney will need to conduct a thorough investigation. This process typically includes speaking with witnesses, obtaining copies of any documentation related to the accident, and taking photographs of the scene and the equipment involved.

Problem #3:

Determining Compensation

Once liability has been established, the next step is to determine the amount of compensation that you deserve. If your injury was caused by a work-related accident, you are probably entitled to compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. If the accident occurred on your property as the result of a defective product, you may be able to recover money for property damage, medical expenses, and lost wages. In order to calculate this amount, your lawyer will need to obtain a copy of your medical records and calculate the amount of money that you lost as a result of the accident. When determining liability, our law firm reviews all documentation and evidence from the construction accident site and analyzes police reports.

We review all building codes, state and local safety regulations required to safeguard against the type of accidents that can occur at a work site during excavation, demolition, roofing installation or other construction projects. Such safety measures may include posting warnings about fall hazards and proper procedures for maintaining cranes and other equipment. We will aggressively pursue the recovery of your damages from all parties that caused your injury including contractors, landowners, subcontractors, manufacturers and any other third party whose negligence may have caused the accident.
