Understanding Your Rights After a Construction Accident
What Qualifies as a Construction Accident?
A construction accident is any injury-causing incident that happens on a job site, whether to a worker, pedestrian, or visitor. These accidents often involve falls, unsafe conditions, defective equipment, or employer negligence.
What Should I Do Immediately After a Construction Accident?
- Seek medical attention immediately.
- Report the accident to your supervisor or site manager.
- Document the scene—take photos and gather witness information.
- Consult with a construction accident attorney before speaking with insurance companies.
Can I File a Lawsuit If I Was Injured on a Construction Site?
