Construction Accident Claims and Lawsuits
Construction accident claims and lawsuits are a way for victims to receive justice and fair financial compensation after a workplace injury. The victim may receive medical treatment at no cost to them. They may access rehabilitation services and future medical care. In addition, the victim may receive replacement income if they are unable to work because of their injuries.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction sites are full of hazardous conditions that can result in injuries to construction workers or others on the premises. Here are the most common construction accidents that may qualify for compensation:
- Falling objects and debris
- Motor vehicle accidents (Learn more from our Denver car accident lawyers)
- Slip and falls
- Electric shock, fires and burns, explosions

What Can I Receive in Workers’ Compensation for a Construction Accident?
Workers’ compensation for a construction accident may include:

What Type of Legal Claim Is a Construction Accident Case?
A construction accident case may be any of the following types of legal claims:
- Workers’ compensation – Workers’ compensation is an insurance system. By requiring employers to have insurance, payments should be readily available to injured workers without proving the employer is at fault for the accident. Compensation may include lost income and paid medical care, including rehabilitation efforts. Work with our workers’ compensation lawyers to ensure your claim is handled correctly.
- Third-party negligence claim – Construction sites often involve many parties. With contractors, subcontractors and a host of suppliers involved, a third party may have a legal liability to the victim through negligence. If another person or party commits an act of negligence that causes the accident and the injury, the victim may pursue compensation for non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Product liability claim – Sometimes, construction accidents happen because of dangerous and malfunctioning products. A product liability attorney can help you examine possible causes for an accident, including whether any party may be held legally liable for a defective product.
