If You've Been Injured In A Construction Accident, Don't Let Yourself Suffer

Construction companies hiring employees and independent contractors are under strict regulation to offer reasonable safety precautions for people working on the building site. Unfortunately, worker supervision, proper equipment maintenance, and safety precautions are often among the first corners cut on a construction project.

After A Work Injury, Is It Really That Tough To Get Benefits? Yes!

If you are hurt at work despite those safety measures, the odds of you simply reporting the injury and collecting the workers' compensation you deserve are, unfortunately, pretty slim. Most businesses institute safety measures for the same reason they aggressively investigate every workers' comp claim: the company protects itself and its budget at all times.

Some occupations put even the most careful worker in harm's way. A roofer brushes against a live power line and is electrocuted. A window installer falls from an unstable ladder. A highway worker is struck by a driver confused by the construction signs. What is often the common thread? Employers or others failed to adequately attend to the safety of those working at or passing by the construction site.
