Overview
Construction sites are dangerous by nature, but when safety rules are ignored, preventable accidents happen. If you were hurt on a jobsite in {location}, you may have more than a workers’ compensation claim — a negligent subcontractor, property owner, or equipment maker may also share responsibility.
Why This Practice Area Matters
Workers’ compensation is usually your exclusive remedy against your own employer, but a general contractor, another subcontractor, or an equipment manufacturer who wasn’t your employer may still be liable in a separate personal injury claim.
Common Causes
- Falls from Heights
- Scaffold Failures

Compensation You May Recover

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue if I'm already covered by workers' compensation?
You generally cannot sue your own employer directly, but you may have a separate claim against a different contractor, property owner, or manufacturer whose negligence contributed to your injury.
How do safety violations affect my case?
Documented safety violations can help establish that industry standards were ignored, strengthening a negligence claim against a responsible third party.
What if multiple companies were working on the site?
We investigate every company involved to determine which ones may share responsibility beyond your direct employer.
