A construction accident claim seeks compensation from responsible parties when safety standards were not met and injuries occurred on a worksite.
Key elements include proving liability, documenting damages, and following legal deadlines. Procedures involve investigations, demand letters, negotiations, and, if necessary, litigation.
In this glossary, we define terms commonly used in construction accident cases.
Liability refers to who bears responsibility for the accident—employers, general contractors, property owners, or subcontractors depending on the circumstances.
Comparative negligence assigns fault among parties, potentially reducing the amount of compensation based on each party’s degree of responsibility.
Damages include medical expenses, wage loss, property loss, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering.
Workers’ compensation provides benefits to workers for job-related injuries, often separate from civil claims.
You may choose to pursue a civil claim, workers’ compensation, or a combination depending on the case. We’ll review options with you.
