What to Do After a Construction Accident
The first and most important thing to do is to seek medical attention for any injuries you or your loved one might have sustained in the accident. This step is very important even if you are not in pain.
Next, if you’re a construction worker or any other employee at the construction site, report the incident to your employer or site manager. Also, remember to document everything about the accident, including taking photos of the accident scene and gathering contact information from any witnesses.
Never accept responsibility for the accident or sign any documents without consulting an attorney. As soon as possible, reach out to Morgan and Morgan for a free, no-obligation case review.
Who Can File a Claim After a Construction Accident?
In Florida, construction workers injured at their workplaces are usually entitled to workers' compensation benefits. These benefits cover medical expenses, lost wages, and death and burial expenses in the event of death due to an accident at the construction site.
However, if someone other than your employer, such as a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer, was the reason you got injured, you may also have grounds for a third-party liability claim. Because each case is unique, having a construction accident expert review your case for free is your best bet at finding the legal support you need.
What Damages Can I Claim?
It all depends on the uniqueness of the case. That said, in most construction accident claims and lawsuits we’ve dealt with in the past, plaintiffs have been able to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
And many others.
