Construction Sites

At Ketover & Associates, LLC, our Construction Site Injury Lawyers have the experience and are well versed in the area of Construction Site Injury lawsuits. Our attorneys must first determine the negligent party in a construction site injury case. Thousands of construction workers are injured or killed in a construction site accident each year. Construction companies must inspect each site with safety engineers and provide safety programs, but unfortunately accidents still occur due to the inadequacy of these provisions or the failure of one of the many subcontractors on a job to obey safety standards.

If you have become injured on a construction site it is critical you consult with an experienced Construction Site Injury Lawyer.

Our experienced Construction Site Injury Attorneys will explain the worker's compensation system, and what to expect from the process. You may be entitled to receive certain prescribed benefits through Worker's Compensation. These include payment of medical bills, a weekly benefit for each week you are unable to work, and payment on a scheduled basis for a permanent injury. Worker's Compensation awards tend to be modest since they are based on past earnings and there is no provision for pain and suffering. In addition, you are not permitted to sue your employer for any other damages but, if there is a third party involved you may sue the third party. For example, if you are a carpenter working for a company you would not be able to sue your immediate boss, but you might be able to bring a claim against the owner of the property you are working on, the painting subcontractor, electrician subcontractor or some other person or entity working on the job site. It is these other entities who could be found liable for your injury and would have to compensate you for the pain and suffering you suffered as a result of the accident.

Our Construction Site Injury Legal Team begins by investigating the owners, architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of equipment. The general contractor and all subcontractors are required to provide a reasonably safe work site, provide proper scaffolds, ladders and safety harnesses when working at elevated heights, warn of hazards inherent at the site, properly train employees, coordinate job safety and supervise compliance with safety specifications.
