Your Connecticut construction accident lawyer takes your side in Connecticut

Contractors and subcontractors also have an obligation to ensure that the site is safe for their laborers.

Bystanders also may be harmed, for which owners of the site also may be found at fault. An experienced Connecticut construction accident attorney can determine the reason for the accident and then hold responsible those whose negligence led it to occur.

Construction accident fatalities rank third in America for deaths caused by injuries. Also all too common are construction accident injuries. If a construction worker in Connecticut or elsewhere is injured in the workplace, a claim for liability can be brought against the employer, owner or contractor, as well as a possible Workers Compensation claim. Workers Compensation benefits may not be enough to cover the costs of a serious construction accident injury. If that is the case, it's vital to hold negligent parties responsible for the construction accident.
One of the most dangerous jobs in America is construction. Around nine million people are employed in construction jobs, or around six per cent of the total work force in America. Yet 20 per cent of job fatalities each year come from the construction industry. Thus, those who work in construction suffer a far higher rate of injury or death from a construction accident than those in most other jobs. Such persons may need a trained Connecticut construction accident lawyer.
After a construction accident in Connecticut causing injury, the injured person may have many costs. These may include pain and suffering, lost present and future wages and medical bills. Workers Compensation benefits may be modest, since they are based on past earnings and do not cover pain and suffering. Additionally, if you are receiving Workers Compensation benefits, you may not be allowed to sue an employer for other damages. A trained Connecticut construction accident lawyer is vital to help you recover.
