Proving Fault in Construction Accident Cases
People who are injured in construction accidents are usually entitled to workers' compensation benefits regardless of who was at fault. Workers' compensation benefits are limited, however, and provide no compensation for damages such as pain and suffering.
If your injury was caused by someone other than your employer or someone who works for your employer, our lawyers can help you recover full compensation for everything you have lost by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party.
In the past, Illinois site owners and general contractors were responsible for injuries caused by safety violations even if they had only slight control over the work area. Due to a recent law change, now your lawyer must show percentage of control. This can be difficult to do because many companies try to shield themselves from judgments by standing behind subcontractors. Many subcontractors carry only minimal insurance policies, which may not be enough to cover your losses.
Our lawyers understand insurance and know where we need to go to collect the money you are due. We also understand the nature of construction work and the types of experts we will need to show a safety violation and percentage of control by the site owner and general contractor. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
