When Workers Are Injured in Construction Accidents
Construction sites can be especially dangerous workplaces. Despite employers' best efforts to inspect sites for potential hazards and provide effective safety training, thousands of construction workers are injured at job sites each year. If you have been hurt in a construction accident, consulting with an experienced workers' compensation attorney can help ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.
Construction Injuries Take Many Forms
Construction injuries encompass a range of injuries, including:
- Fractures
- Knee injuries

If you have sustained a construction injury requiring medical care, contact my office. Whether you have suffered a scaffolding or ladder fall or strained your back lifting heavy equipment, I will evaluate your situation, pursue your claim and protect your rights under the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act.
Determining Third Party Liability
Many times, a third party is liable for a construction accident, particularly when workers travel to an off-site location. If investigation shows a land owner, equipment manufacturer or other party is responsible for your incident, I will pursue a third party claim against that person or entity, seeking damages for your pain and suffering.
