Construction accidents and workers' compensation claims
Construction workers who are injured on the job are entitled to workers' compensation benefits as well. We are vigorous advocates for injured construction workers and help them obtain benefits for temporary disability, medical treatment, permanent disability and vocational rehabilitation. However, many construction workers are also entitled to personal injury compensation following a work-related accident. Our lawyers handle work accident claims that run concurrent with workers' compensation claims following a construction accident. This is an important aspect to consider when choosing a lawyer. Keith More has actual trial experience dealing with workers compensation and personal injury claims arising from one construction site accident. There will be lien issues and claims for credit rights. If your attorney does not understand these issues, you may be losing money and waiving your rights to benefits for which you are entitled.
Construction accidents and defective products
Work site accident injuries can also arise from defective products. Whether you have been injured by a nail gun, handsaw, backhoe or any other type of construction equipment, an attorney from Berman More Gonzalez can help. We work with experts to examine the equipment used and determine if a defective or dangerous component caused the product to fail or caused an injury that otherwise would have been avoidable. Defective construction equipment can cause a worker to lose an arm or hand, suffer severe lacerations or burns, or much worse.
Construction site falls: Ladders, Scaffolding, Roofs
The level of heights involved in many construction projects put workers in dangerous positions. A sudden slip of the foot or a nudge from adjacent moving construction equipment, and suddenly, a construction worker falls and suffers a spinal cord injury that results in paraplegia, quadriplegia or tetraplegia.
