Learn MoreConstruction site accidents include everything from general safety environment issues to poor working conditions. Construction sites often have great heights, with little guarding, and undertrained staff. If you happen to get into a construction accident, there are several things you must do immediately after a construction accident so that you can get the most money possible for your accident injuries.
Yes, you could be eligible for compensation if you were hurt in a construction accident in Arizona. The following are the typical principal sources of compensation following a construction accident:
Consult with a competent personal injury or construction accident attorney who can guide you through these complex laws and make sure you receive the maximum compensation to which you are entitled.
Generally no. You should NEVER speak with representatives from the other party’s insurance company. In those cases, you should only discuss the valuation of your vehicle. You should not discuss the facts of the accident or your injuries. Otherwise, we will handle all communications for you. If a representative contacts you, politely tell them that you have retained an attorney to represent you. The representative should then contact us and never contact you again. If they do, please notify us immediately and we will file a complaint with the Department of Insurance because it is unfair claims practice for an insurance representative to contact a party knowingly represented by an attorney.
Generally, the answer is “No”. Remember, the insurance company does not work for you – they work for the other party. Oftentimes, even before you obtain medical attention and assess the extent of your injuries, you may be contacted by a claims adjuster who will make you a ridiculous, low-ball offer. They are hoping you will accept this offer before you understand the full extent of your damages.
Many people accept these types of offers and sign a release, only to find out further complications “down the road”. Tough Luck. In most states, including Arizona, a release is worded in such a way as to make it almost impossible to ever seek any further compensation after you sign, even if you find your injuries are much worse than you ever anticipated. You shouldn’t agree without first consulting a good Arizona construction accident attorney.
The amount of money you will ultimately recover depends on a variety of issues, the most important of which is the nature of your injuries caused by the accident and the comprehensive medical treatment you receive for those injuries. At Warnock MacKinlay Law, we will help you seek reimbursement for any or all of the following:
A construction site has so many moving parts that it is fairly easy to overlook one thing. Unfortunately overlooking even one detail can lead to injury on these job sites. Construction sites are among the most hazardous job sites in the United States.
Common causes of construction accidents include the use of heavy machinery and chemicals. When you are working with unstable or temporary structures, there is a significant chance of risk as well.
The idea is that anyone handling heavy machinery, chemicals or temporary structures, should have thorough training. But training and experience don’t always line up. There’s the risk of inexperienced staff, or overly comfortable staff mishandling their job duty.
Then there is the risk of project managers and contractors cutting corners. Many sites must use multiple contractors, and some can only begin work after others are done.
For example, electricians often work after much of a building’s structure is complete. They are then at risk of the prior contractors taking shortcuts which may expose them to unstable work environments.
Falling off a standard ladder might not seem serious, but if it results in torn ligaments or hyperextension, it is rather severe. Common injuries from construction sites range wildly.
If you experienced any injury on a construction site, contact an Arizona construction accident lawyer. You are likely to come across many hurdles during your recovery and worrying about legal paperwork should not be your top priority.
Hiring a lawyer should allow you to focus on recovering mentally and physically. While you recover, your lawyer should be hard at work putting together a strong case for you.
