Our Trusted Legal Team In Torrington - Advocating For You At Every Step

Connecticut Construction Accident Attorneys

Construction sites are inherently dangerous places to work. If you’ve been injured in a workplace accident, you have rights. If you were injured on a job site, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation claim or pursue a personal injury lawsuit to seek the compensation you deserve.

Our Torrington workers’ compensation attorneys at The Law Offices of Conti, Levy, Salerno & Goodrich, LLC, help injured construction workers throughout northwest Connecticut seek compensation for their workplace injuries. Our construction accident lawyers can assess your situation and offer you legal guidance and advice as you pursue your construction injury claim.

Construction Site Accidents And Injuries

Construction sites are bustling with activity and potential hazards. Injury accidents are bound to happen. Some serious injuries that can happen include:

  • Ladder falls: These accidents can result in broken bones, head injuries and even fatalities.
  • Crush accidents: Being caught between or under heavy objects can cause severe injuries, including fractures and internal damage.
  • Vehicle accidents: Construction vehicles like forklifts or cranes can pose significant risks, leading to serious injuries if not operated safely.
  • Falling objects: Tools or materials falling from heights can lead to head injuries or other serious harm.

Our injury lawyers can help you assess your claims and hold the responsible parties accountable for your injuries. We are committed to ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve.

When Can You File A Workers’ Compensation Claim For A Construction Site Accident?

You can file a workers’ compensation claim if you are injured while performing your job duties on a construction site. Workers’ compensation functions as a no-fault system. This means that it is not necessary to prove that your employer did anything wrong or acted negligently in order to file a claim and receive benefits. These benefits can cover medical expenses, a portion of lost wages and rehabilitation costs. An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can guide you through the process and help you understand your rights under the workers’ compensation system.

When Can You File A Third-Party Claim For A Construction Site Accident?

In addition to a workers’ compensation claim, you may be able to file a third-party personal injury claim if a party other than your employer is responsible for your injuries. Depending on the facts and circumstances of your case, this could include equipment manufacturers, subcontractors or property owners. Filing a third-party claim can provide additional compensation beyond what workers’ comp offers. For example, if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident while driving somewhere for your job, you may have a personal injury claim against the other driver. It is important to note that you can pursue both a workers’ comp claim and a third-party claim simultaneously, and our injury attorneys can help you navigate both processes to maximize your compensation.
