Hartford Construction Accident Lawyer

Types of Construction Accident Injuries

Construction injuries can range from minor to catastrophic. Many victims face a long road to recovery, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and potential permanent disabilities. Some of the most serious injuries we see in construction accident cases include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Broken bones and fractures
• Severe burns
• Amputations or crush injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Vision or hearing loss
• Wrongful death

Our attorneys understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll a construction injury can take. We work tirelessly to build strong cases that reflect the full scope of your present and future damages.

Understanding Your Legal Options

Many injured construction workers believe their only option is to file a workers’ compensation claim. While workers’ comp may cover a portion of your medical bills and lost wages, it often falls short of providing full compensation for your suffering and long-term losses. What many people don’t realize is that you may also have grounds for a personal injury claim if a third party (someone other than your employer) was negligent.

For example, if your injury was caused by:

• A defective tool or piece of equipment, the manufacturer may be liable
• A subcontractor’s carelessness, they may be held responsible
• An unsafe worksite maintained by a general contractor or property owner, they could be liable

The attorneys at RisCassi & Davis, P.C. will evaluate your situation to determine whether you may be eligible to pursue a third-party personal injury lawsuit in addition to any workers’ compensation benefits.
