Durham, North Carolina Lawyers Representing Those Injured in Construction Accidents
If you or a loved one has been injured on a construction site, do not hesitate to contact a Thomas, Ferguson & Mullins, LLP lawyer today. With over 75 years combined experience fighting for the rights of our clients, and numerous successes involving serious injury claims and fatalities at construction sites, our law firm is here to help you.
We are lawyers who fight to protect injured construction workers and their families' rights
Everyone knows that construction sites are dangerous. Because of the risk of serious injury and even death, there are numerous laws and regulations designed by the government and trade industry groups to protect workers and others who are on construction sites from injury and fatal accidents. Despite all these safety rules, regulations and modern equipment, thousands of people are injured each year on North Carolina construction sites.
Whether you or your injured loved one was a construction site worker, pedestrian passing by, or a site visitor, our lawyers have extensive experience representing those seriously injured or fatally wounded at construction sites in North Carolina.
Types of injuries and common accidents arising from construction site accidents:
- Back and head injuries resulting from falls from elevated structures (ladders, platforms, scaffolding, roofs, or buildings);
- Trench cave-in, roof collapses, wall collapses, and scaffolding accidents;
- Repetitive trauma injuries from overuse of a specific part of the body;
- Electric shock due to a mistake or faulty wiring;
- Scarring and burns from fires, electrocution, or chemical exposure;
- Wrongful death or accidents involving a fatality; and,
- Injury caused by being struck by tools or equipment.
Right to Recovery: Workers Compensation, third party claims against other workers or contractors on the construction site
There are multiple layers of laws and regulations covering construction site duties and responsibilities. There are multiple layers of insurance coverages too. When there are serious injuries or death, often more than one area of the law is involved and the victim is entitled to more than recovery from just one source.
It is not uncommon for our firm to recover the workers' compensation benefits for the client and then get an additional recovery from third parties such as other workers' or other contractors' liability insurance carriers who were also partially at fault for causing our client's injuries and damages. When a construction site worker is injured by a third party (someone other than the worker's employer), the injured construction site worker may have a claim against that other third party, in addition to their workers' compensation claim.
