A construction accident claim seeks financial relief for injuries that occurred due to hazards, equipment failures, or safety violations on a job site.
Elements include duty of care, breach, causation, and damages, followed by evidence gathering, demand letters, negotiations, and, if needed, litigation.
This glossary explains common terms you may encounter in a construction accident claim.
Compensation for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, and other losses resulting from the accident.
Failure to exercise reasonable care that leads to injury on the work site.
A state program providing benefits to injured workers, typically separate from third-party personal injury claims.
Insurance coverage held by contractors and site owners that may cover damages after an accident.
Options typically include workers’ compensation, third-party personal injury claims, or a combination depending on who was at fault.
