FAQ
Morgan & Morgan
What Does a Construction Accident Lawyer Do?
This attorney handles cases related to injuries or fatalities at construction sites. They investigate incidents, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and, if required, take these cases to court.
What Are Some Qualities of a Good Construction Accident Attorney?
The right attorney to handle such a case will have extensive experience in this field, a deep understanding of local safety regulations, a proven track record of successful settlements or verdicts, and access to powerful legal resources to take on any defendant in the room, regardless of their size.
What Situations Require a Lawyer’s Intervention?
You’ll likely need us to swing into action in situations where injuries are severe, liability is disputed, the insurance company acts out of bad faith, or when dealing with complex legal processes. Additionally, if the insurance company offers inadequate compensation, you should tell us about your case, and we’ll figure out how best to proceed.
How Much Will It Cost To Hire a Lawyer?
Nothing, at least not from your own pocket. Our attorneys will only get paid if you win the case and obtain a settlement or verdict.
Can I Still File a Claim if I Was Partly at Fault for the Accident?
In Washington, DC, which follows a contributory negligence system, if you are found even partially at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering damages. However, this doesn’t apply to workers’ compensation claims. Since workers’ comp is a no-fault insurance, you may still be able to file a claim if you got injured on the job.
Besides My Employer, Who Else Can I File a Claim With?
Liability can also fall on contractors, sub-contractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, or other third parties who may be responsible for the accident. If you have a viable case, we can help you establish the parties responsible for your injuries and losses.
