Did You Know?    
 
 
You should consult a physician after a construction accident.
It is imperative that you seek medical attention for any and all construction accident injuries. Even minor injuries can have adverse long term effects. You may also jeopardize your claim by not seeking medical attention.

 

Construction work can be very rewarding. Construction workers earn good money for a hard day's work, and they get good benefits. Construction yards can be among the most dangerous places to work, though. Toxic materials can contaminate the air around you, and heavy loads are constantly being moved around. If you've been injured while working on a construction site, Indiana construction accident lawyers can help you recover damages to pay for medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering.

Jury awards Indiana woman $1.1 million for injuries in car accident (3/18/2005)

Not surprisingly, more than 2,100 people died in 2003 as a result of serious construction accidents. Another 400,000 people suffered construction accident injuries so severe that they were forced to miss work that same year (Bureau of Labor Statistics).

With the help of a Indiana construction accident attorney, you may be able to recover damages to pay for doctor’s visits and for pain and suffering. A lawyer who specializes in Indiana construction accident injuries can even help you petition OSHA, the government agency that deals with workplace safety, to help make you job site secure.

The most common construction related injuries include:

  • Crane accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Scaffolding accidents
  • Welding rod accidents
  • Dangerous or defective equipment accidents
  • Electrocution
  • Hazardous waste exposure
  • Hearing loss

The principal way to get money for your injuries is to take those responsible to court. Depending on the size of the project, many people can be held responsible. They range from the construction site owner, the contractor, architects and engineers, and even the manufacturers of construction equipment.

While the prospect of going to court might bring up images of long trial periods and frightening cross-examination, a Indiana construction accident attorney will protect your rights. And if your case is especially strong, you may be able to settle your lawsuit and avoid a messy court battle.

Your Indiana construction accident lawyer will prove that your injuries could have been avoided if the construction company acted carefully, with safety in mind. He will also help protect you on the witness stand.
