ATLANTA CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS LAWYER PROVIDES EXPERIENCED COUNSEL

Construction sites are rife with hazards including heavy machinery, dangerous vehicles, and caustic chemicals. However, with proper care and training, accidents are easily avoided. If you are injured on a construction site, you may be entitled to compensation. At the J. Stein Law Firm we work diligently to help you determine your best course of action for recovering damages. Depending on the circumstances of your case, this may mean filing a worker’s compensation claim, filing a personal injury claim against a third negligent party, or a combination of both.

Types of construction accidents

Employers have a responsibility to provide workers with functioning tools, proper training, and effective safety equipment. Additionally, construction sites should be organized, debris and materials should be secured, and scaffolding should be inspected. When an employer fails to take safety precautions, the following types of accidents can occur:

Electrocution
Falls
Burn accidents
Chemical spills
Heat stroke and overexertion
Lead poisoning
Structure collapse
Fires and explosions
Trench collapses
Vehicle accidents
Exposure to chemicals
Falling objects
Equipment-related accidents
Repetitive motion accidents
Respiratory diseases
Many of these accidents are preventable. If you or a loved one suffers any type of site injury, consult with an Atlanta construction accidents lawyer as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation.

Workers compensation claim

If you are injured while working for a construction company, your best recourse for compensation is through your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. We have a deep understanding of state workers comp laws and can guide you through the process by putting you in touch with the right lawyer who will help you recover compensation that is fair and appropriate.
