Pursuing A Claim For Construction Accident Injury
If you have been injured or have suffered an illness as a result of an accident at a construction site, you should take the following steps to protect your legal rights:
- Report the injury to your employer and/or the site manager. Note the name and position of the person you notified. If possible, report the injury in writing and keep a copy for your records.
- Get the names and contact information of any witnesses to the accident.
- Whenever possible, try to preserve any evidence related to your injury. Take photographs of your injuries and the location at the construction site where you were injured. If your accident involved a tool, equipment, or other object, try to keep it or set it aside.
- Get medical attention for your injuries.
An important next step is to locate an attorney who can consult with you and help you to evaluate your potential claim.
If you need to go to court to protect your legal rights, your case’s outcome may depend on the work your attorney undertakes before the case goes to trial. In order to ensure that your lawyer investigates the case correctly, you should discuss your case with an attorney who is experienced in the area of construction injury law. While finding the best possible lawyer is important, also keep in mind that meeting with an attorney should take place as soon as possible. Construction injury cases often include complicated issues of liability, a thorough site investigation, and legal deadlines for the filing of an injury claim, especially in cases involving a site owned by a government entity. The best way to protect your rights is to consult an attorney with experience in construction accident injury law.
