Get Your Life Back

If you got injured in a construction accident while working on a construction site, you may have a negligence action as well as a Workers’ Compensation action. 

Workers’ compensation

 Workers' Compensation laws severely limit recovery, primarily because they provide no compensation for pain and suffering and severely limit how much compensation is paid for your injuries and/or disabilities and Illinois precludes an employee from suing their employer.

Often, in order to receive damages that cover pain and suffering and also adequately compensate you for your injuries, there may be parties, other than your employer, that may be responsible for the accident. This is especially true in the case of construction site accidents where there are architects, contractors, product and equipment suppliers, etc. who may have contributed to the accident.

If a third party is found to be the cause of the injuries, then damages (other than those available to you under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act) are available that will more fully compensate you. 

Our Firm is experienced in construction site injuries.

 Knowledge of the laws and/or regulations governing construction sites is imperative when developing theories against any third parties involved.

• Experience in the inspections of worksites,
• inspections of the equipment and products on the site,
• identification of critical witnesses,
• and knowledge of how to preserve and analyze important evidence is also essential.
