While a workplace accident can occur in any field, construction is the leading industry for worker fatalities, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The recent data from the administration shows that one out of every five work deaths was in the construction industry.
OSHA lists the four leading factors in construction site injuries and deaths as:
If someone else’s careless actions resulted in a brain hemorrhage for you or a loved one, you could pursue compensation for all losses you sustained. Our team can discuss the risk of traumatic brain injury in accidents that injure the head and how it could affect your compensation.
Workplace accidents result in a wide variety of injuries and impairments. Often those injuries result in chronic or permanent pain and the inability to resume normal daily activities. You may need assistive devices to help you move around, or need to take medications to reduce the amount of pain you are in. If you or a loved one suffered injuries while at work, you have the right to demand fair and just compensation for all of your injuries and the economic impact of those injuries on you and your family.
In the State of New York, only in rare circumstances can you sue your employer. However, if another party is responsible for your injury, we may be able to hold them accountable.
For example, if you were injured at a construction site while working for your plumbing company, you would likely be prevented from suing your own employer. However, you may be able to sue the General Contractor, the building owner, or another subcontractor on the job. Another example is if you slipped and fell while working at a restaurant. While you would not be able to sue your restaurant, you may be able to sue the cleaning company hired by the restaurant to clean the floor.
Being injured while at work can result in a wide variety of damages to you and your family. If we can prove that your workplace accident and injuries were the result of the fault of another party who was not your employer, you may be entitled to substantial compensation for damages.
These damages commonly include:
Following your accident, the liable party’s insurance company may attempt to contact you and make a settlement offer in hopes of quickly resolving your case. The initial offer may appeal to you and your family. However, the offer will likely be significantly less than the true value of your damages and not account for additional expenses you may face in the future. If you accept any money from the insurance company, you may forfeit your right to pursue compensation later, should your condition worsen.
