Construction accidents can lead to some of the most catastrophic injuries a person can sustain. Construction sites are by nature dangerous and pose significant risks for even the most experienced construction workers. Construction accident injuries are in many cases severe and can require extensive medical treatment or rehabilitative care for injured accident victims to achieve any degree of recovery. In many cases injuries sustained leave workers with permanent disabilities and they are unable to further work to provide for themselves or their families. In the most extreme cases, fatal injuries may claim their lives.
Among the most commonly reported construction accident injuries are broken bones from falls, skull fractures and brain injuries from being hit with falling equipment, cuts, burns, and other forms of traumatic injury.
Individuals who have been injured in construction accidents are often eligible to file workers’ compensation claims. Sums awarded in these cases may not cover the full costs of needed medical care, especially in cases where one requires extensive medical treatment or long term rehabilitation. In some cases outside providers of equipment, like scaffolding and cranes, can be held responsible in addition to receiving Workers’ Comp.
A construction accident lawyer can help individuals who have sustained work-related injuries on construction sites and may require long-term treatment or care receive compensation from those who may bear some responsibility for their accident. Life care planning is often an important element in these cases to help injured clients understand what their future medical needs may be and how they should be factored into personal injury claims for damages.
