Orangeburg Construction Accident AttorneysWhat Is A Construction Accident?

On the Job Injuries injuries to anyone occurring on or around a construction site or involving construction equipment. These accidents often happen to construction workers on the site. However, injuries can occur to anyone on or near the site, including visitors, employees, and innocent bystanders. The most common construction site injuries include, but are not limited to:

  • Traumatic Brain Injury often resulting from debris or tools falling from elevated locations, such as roofs, ladders, or scaffolding.
  • Sprains or strains, and other soft tissue injuries
  • Broken and fractured bones
  • Workers being crushed by equipment or materials
  • Mechanical accidents due to improper operation or mechanical failure of construction tools
  • Slip and Fall caused by tripping over items left on the ground or falling from ladders or scaffolding

Who Should Compensate You for a Construction Accident?

A multitude of issues can cause construction accidents, and the party to be held responsible depends on each scenario. If a construction accident is caused by human error, you may seek to hold that person or his employer accountable. If a mechanical issue causes an accident, you may seek to recover from the manufacturer, maintenance company, or owner of the machinery.

If a breach in rules and regulations causes an accident, you may seek to hold the employer accountable, due to his failure to either put in place or enforce necessary precautions. Working closely with a construction accident lawyer is, by far, an essential step to take to ensure you are appropriately compensated for your injuries. If we represent you, the Strom Law Firm’s Orangeburg Construction Accident Attorneys will work to ensure that all the right people are held accountable.

What Compensation Can Be Recovered for Damages Suffered as a Result of a Construction Accident?

Following a construction accident involving liability, an injured person can recover for a variety of damages. The damages you might recover ultimately depend upon the types and seriousness of your injuries. The court will also examine if the injured party’s negligence was a significant factor.

A plaintiff injured in a construction site accident may receive damages of two types: economic and non-economic damages.

  • Economic damages are intended to cover financial loss caused by the accident; examples include medical bills and lost income.
  • Non-economic damages are intended to compensate a victim for different types of loss like pain and suffering or emotional distress.

Different types of personal injury compensation might include:

  • Compensation for bills paid related to the medical treatment of your injuries. These may include ER visits, nursing homes, or physical and occupational therapy. This often includes the costs of future medical treatment.
  • Pain and suffering.
  • Emotional distress. Damages recovered for anxiety, depression, or PTSD resulting from the injury.
  • Lost income and wages. If you have missed work because of your injuries, this form of compensation for lost wages will attempt to make you whole again. You may also receive compensation for your future inability to work throughout your lifetime.
  • Wrongful death.
  • Loss of consortium. These damages are intended to compensate family members for the loss they suffer when a victim is unable to provide the same companionship as before the accident.

A jury may also award a plaintiff punitive damages, which are intended to punish any reckless or intentional behavior of the defendant that caused the injury.

How Hard is it to Prove a Construction Site Accident Case?

Numerous parties could be implicated in a construction site accident: an employer, their other employees, several different contractors, equipment lessors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, and the insurance companies for each of these. Often, insurance company representatives will reach out to you immediately after your accident and offer you pennies on the dollar for a quick settlement. You should never accept this offer without first consulting your own Orangeburg construction accident attorneys.

The insurance company wants to negotiate with you at your most vulnerable and least informed state of mind. You must consult with a lawyer whenever you suffer an injury at a construction site, whether employed on-site, visiting, or just passing by.

Consulting a lawyer at Strom Law Firm will not cost you anything. We generally operate on a “contingent fee” basis, meaning we only get paid if we secure compensation on your behalf.

From Self-Representation to Victory in SSDI Case!
My experience with Mario and his staff was outstanding. When everyone said to give up my case with SSDI and after being poorly represented and losing. I had to file my own appeals and represent myself. I literally called every attorney in the book. Then I called Mario cold – I expected one more no! Well, this gentleman took my case and won. He knows the law and cares a lot. I am proud to call him my friend. If you need a professional to help you, call these guys.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
