Construction Accident Lawyer in Covington

While no accident at a construction site is common, especially when injuries occur, some happen more frequently than others. This includes the following types of construction site accidents. 

• Scaffolding collapses
• Trench Collapses
• Heavy machinery mistakes or malfunctions
• Power tool accidents
• Falls from high places
• Objects falling onto workers
• Swinging objects hitting workers
• Getting trapped or crushed between objects or materials
• Electrocutions

Construction accidents aren’t limited to occurring on-site. Road workers are also at risk. Drivers not paying attention can hit road workers, causing significant bodily injuries. If you’re injured in a construction accident, Morgan & Morgan can fight for your legal rights.

Some construction accidents only cause minor injuries that you can easily recover from, like cuts or bruises. Unfortunately, other types of injuries can be severe and even life-altering. These can include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Burns
• Severe lacerations
• Amputations
• Cardiac issues from electrical shocks
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Neck and back injuries
• Internal injuries

If you’re injured in a construction accident, it’s best to seek legal advice as soon as possible to protect your rights and your personal injury claim.

Worker’s compensation often covers most of all of your damages after a construction accident. However, it’s always best to work with an experienced attorney from Morgan & Morgan to ensure you receive full and fair compensation. Insurance companies often try to settle for the lowest possible amount, and this may not be enough to cover all of your damages. 

Some of the damages you may be entitled to receive typically include:

• Medical expenses already incurred and future (long-term) care
• Lost wages
• Future lost income if your injuries and impairments keep you from returning to your previous job
• Pain and suffering—both physical and mental
• Permanent disfigurement or disabilities
• Lost enjoyment of life

If the construction accident results in a fatality, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death for your loved one. Contact Morgan & Morgan to learn more about your options.
