Why You Need Our Help in Construction Accident Injury Claims

Many injured construction workers assume workers’ compensation is their only option after an accident. While workers’ compensation benefits may provide partial wage replacement and medical coverage, they typically do not compensate you for the full extent of your losses.

Many construction accidents involve third-party liability claims. Construction sites frequently have multiple contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, and outside vendors. 

If someone other than your direct employer contributed to the accident, you may have the right to pursue a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.

We may pursue third-party claims when accidents are caused by:

  • Negligent subcontractors or contractors
  • Unsafe property conditions
  • Defective machinery or equipment
  • Negligent drivers operating construction vehicles
  • Safety violations by other companies on the worksite

Unlike workers’ compensation claims, third-party personal injury claims typically allow you to recover broader categories of damages.

What We Do on Your Behalf 

At Damisi Velasquez Attorney at Law, we understand that these claims often involve complicated liability issues, multiple insurance carriers, and aggressive defense tactics from corporations and insurers seeking to minimize payouts.

We fight back by doing the following: 

  • Conducting detailed investigations into the cause of the accident
  • Preserving evidence and obtaining worksite records
  • Identifying all potentially liable third parties
  • Working with medical and safety experts when necessary
  • Handling communications and negotiations with insurance companies
  • Taking cases to trial if fair compensation is not offered

We tailor our legal strategy to your injuries, financial losses, and long-term needs while providing clear communication and personalized support throughout the case.

  • Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs
  • Falling tools or debris
