Construction Accidents
Due to the inherent dangers and increased risk of injury associated with construction jobs, on-site accidents occur frequently. Often, these accidents lead to catastrophic injuries that result in serious medical expenses and a lengthy absence from work. If you have been injured in a construction accident caused by defective equipment or the negligent actions of another, you may be entitled to receive compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.
Sadly, many construction sites do not take the proper steps to ensure the safety of employees. When safety standards are ignored for the sake of time or money, accidents are more likely to occur. At Cullenberg & Tensen, P.L.L.C., our New Hampshire and Vermont personal injury attorneys can help you hold negligent parties accountable for your injuries.
Your Rights After a Construction Accident
If you have been injured in a construction accident, you may have several options when seeking compensation for your injuries. You may be entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits. Our lawyers can help you through the filing process so that your claim is not unfairly denied by the insurance company.
If your injuries were caused by poorly maintained equipment, defective equipment, negligent safety conditions, or the negligent actions of another employee, you may also be able to receive compensation from the party responsible for your injuries. Our accident attorneys may be able to hold several parties liable for your injuries, including:
- Construction industry employers
- Site managers
- Job foremen
- Other employees
- Third parties who contributed to the dangerous condition
