Many factors will come into play when determining the best legal representation for your case. To begin with, keep in mind that construction accident cases are complex. The issue of liability, for example, may be unclear depending on the specifics of the case. You need an attorney with a proven track record of handling construction accident cases in Atlanta. The attorney should also have powerful legal resources to build a strong case, including a proven history of obtaining successful outcomes. Lastly, make sure you also read their reviews to find out what other clients think about their services.

The damages available to the plaintiff after a construction accident vary from case to case. Typically, the injured — or their loved ones in the case of a wrongful death — can recover compensation for:

• Past, present, and future medical bills related to the injuries the victim sustained;
• income lost due to missed work during recovery;
• the physical and emotional distress caused by the accident and its consequences;
• permanent injuries or scarring; and
• funeral expenses, loss of support, and emotional suffering (in the case of a wrongful death claim or lawsuit).

Once we've determined that you may have a viable case, we will investigate the matter and explain to you the kind of damages you may be able to recover if you win the case.

In construction accidents, multiple parties may share a certain degree of responsibility, sometimes partly, other times as a whole. Let's take a look at some potentially liable parties below. 

• In accidents caused by an employer's negligence, such as failing to provide proper safety training or equipment, the employer in question may be held responsible.
• Other third-party contractors, such as drivers, working at the construction site might be liable if their actions contributed to the accident.
• If the accident occurred due to defective machinery or equipment, such a case would fall under the umbrella of product liability (also known as defective product liability), where the manufacturer, distributor, or even advertiser of the faulty products could be held accountable. 
• You may also be able to hold the property owner or manager responsible, especially for hazardous conditions on the construction site, if these conductions caused your injuries.

In Atlanta and throughout Georgia, such cases generally have a two-year statute of limitations. The clock begins to count from the date of the accident, and if you fail to initiate legal action within this time, you might lose your right to seek compensation. So, consulting with a construction accident attorney as soon as possible is crucial. That's one of the reasons we offer a free no-obligation case evaluation.
