You may seek medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some situations, penalties for fault. If workers’ compensation applies, it can cover medical bills and a portion of lost wages, while a separate personal injury claim may pursue additional damages.
Liability can fall on employers, general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners depending on who controlled the site and contributed to the hazard. Evidence of site safety violations and faulty equipment often supports a claim against multiple parties.
Bring photos, police or incident reports, medical records, bills, and a list of witnesses. Notes on the incident date, location, and any safety concerns help us assess the case quickly.
Fault is usually determined by comparing what a reasonable person would have done under the circumstances. Investigations, witness statements, and safety records help clarify responsibility.
