If you work in the construction industry, it’s likely that you or somebody you work with has suffered an accident at work which has resulted in a construction site injury. Some injuries are far worse than others and can result in a loss of earnings through an inability to work. In some cases, a serious construction accident can have life altering consequences.
While construction work is dangerous by nature, it is the responsibility of the employer or the main contractor on any work site to minimise these dangers and safeguard all workers. If they fail to do so and an employee suffers a construction injury, that employee could be entitled to make a construction injury compensation claim. Other independent contractors working separately on the same site also have a responsibility to workers and a duty to not cause injury through dangerous working practices or negligence.
A construction accident refers to any incident or event that occurs on a construction site resulting in injuries, property damage, or fatalities. It can involve falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, machinery accidents, electrical shocks, or other hazards commonly associated with construction work.
A construction injury compensation claim is a legal process where a construction worker seeks financial remuneration for injuries sustained on a construction site that were not their fault. The claim can cover medical expenses, loss of earnings, and other damages. It aims to hold responsible parties accountable for unsafe conditions.
Our construction accident claims solicitors have extensive experience and knowledge in handling complex construction accident cases, and are dedicated to securing maximum compensation for our clients.
Our construction accident claims solicitors can help by providing legal advice, representing you in court, negotiating settlements, and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses.
Our construction accident claims solicitors help individuals who have been injured in construction accidents, including workers, contractors, and bystanders.
The amount of compensation you can receive for a construction accident claim depends on various factors, such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life and ability to work, and the extent of the negligence or liability of the parties involved. There is no fixed amount or formula for calculating compensation, as each case is unique and requires a thorough assessment by a qualified personal injury lawyer. However, the compensation may cover various damages, such as medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
To claim for a construction accident, gather evidence such as photos and witness statements, report the incident to your employer, seek medical attention, and contact Stephensons' personal injury lawyers to assist with filing a claim.
