Construction Accident Lawyers Serving North Carolina

For a person injured in a construction accident in Raleigh, there may be two potential options in seeking financial help for the injuries sustained. A personal injury or workers’ compensation case may be filed to help the victim recover money for medical expenses, lost earnings and other damages.

Fighting with insurance companies and your employer to pay for your injuries can not only be stressful, but time consuming as well. It can lead to your window of opportunity to file a personal injury claim to expire, preventing you from retaining any compensation for your injuries. The laws surrounding personal injury accidents are strict and one small mistake can jeopardize the entire attempt to secure funds. A Raleigh personal injury lawyer can help you navigate through this with you.

The type of case that may apply to you will depend upon whether you were working at the time of the accident. A Raleigh construction accident lawyer can help you explore what options may be available to you. Having a lawyer present will be in your best interests at this time. Your attorney will fight to ensure that your rights are protected and that you can receive all eligible compensation. En Español.

Common Construction Accident Causes

Sometimes, Raleigh construction accidents can result from construction workers making innocent mistakes and other times these accidents result from the negligence of construction workers’ employers.

All too often, employers of construction employees and general contractors act in ways that are overly negligent or reckless.  When this happens, people who work on construction jobs can be placed in dangerous situations that lead to them sustaining injuries.

Aside from employer negligence, here are some other common causes of construction accidents:  defective ladders or scaffolding, rotting floors, exposure to hazardous chemicals, exposed electrical wiring, violation of safety codes, slippery surfaces on construction sites, improper disposal of materials and defective work equipment.

This firm has always been about people and helping them.
