Construction Site Injuries
Michigan Injury Lawyers in Southfield
Working at a construction site is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States, despite the fact that the construction industry must implement safety programs, inspect their sites and meet regulation standards.
Debilitating injuries that can and do occur at construction sites are often characterized by the following types and sources of accident or injuries:
- Truck, crane, bulldozer, and forklift accidents
- Falls from ladders or scaffolding
- Compressed gas hazards
- Defective machinery
- Power tool or equipment injuries
- Welding, cutting or brazing accidents
- Electrocution from power lines
- Explosions resulting in burns and injury
- Excavation site cave-ins
Obtaining a skilled and experienced personal injury lawyer is often the only way to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Medical care, wage loss, attendant care, rehabilitation, along with other financial assistance may be necessary to help you recover. Resources for compensation are workers' compensation and third party claims.
Third-Party Construction Site Claims
At Erlich, Rosen, Bartnick & Cook, P.C., our injury lawyers can assist you in evaluating your injury and determining the best legal approach for receiving the amount of compensation you will need to cover expenses. While we can help you with your workers' compensation claim, workers' compensation frequently does not cover all recovery costs. A thorough investigation of the construction site may reveal that through negligence other third party sources are liable for your injury, such as:
- Contractors/subcontractors
- Property owners
- Construction company
- Insurance company
- Architects
- Engineers
- Manufacturers of defective equipment
Because construction site injuries often cause long-term disability, resulting in an inability to work, by seeking legal guidance you can become fully aware of your legal options and entitlement in terms of compensation.
A consultation with Erlich, Rosen, Bartnick & Cook is at no cost or obligation and if we agree to represent you, there are no fees unless we recover on your behalf. To arrange a consultation, call us today at 877-453-2840 or contact us online.
