Your Rights After a Construction Accident

Understanding your rights after a construction accident is crucial for ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Many workers are unaware of the protections available to them under Illinois law. If you have been injured on the job, it’s essential to know that you may be entitled to benefits beyond just workers' compensation.

Here are key rights you should be aware of:

  • Right to Medical Care: You have the right to receive necessary medical treatment for your injuries, covered by your employer’s workers' compensation insurance.
  • Right to Compensation: If your accident was due to negligence—whether from a third party or unsafe work conditions—you may have the right to pursue additional compensation through a personal injury claim.
  • Right to Report Unsafe Conditions: You can report unsafe working conditions without fear of retaliation. Employers are required to maintain a safe work environment.
  • Right to Legal Representation: You have the right to seek legal counsel to help navigate your case and ensure your rights are protected.

At Driscoll Law Group, our qualified attorneys are dedicated to helping you understand and exercise your rights after a construction accident. We will work tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation and support you need to recover and move forward.

Common Construction Accident Injuries

Working at a construction site or even passing near one can be dangerous; all sorts of mishaps can cause serious injuries or death.

Common types of accidents include but are not limited to:

  • Falls: Whether from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops, falls are a common cause of construction site injuries.
  • Struck by Objects: Heavy machinery, falling debris, or tools can cause severe injuries when they strike workers.
  • Equipment Malfunctions: Defective machinery, electrical equipment failures, or faulty safety devices can lead to dangerous mishaps.
  • Trench Collapses: Workers involved in excavation or trenching are at risk of being trapped or crushed by collapsing trenches.
  • Electrocutions: Construction sites often have exposed wiring or unfinished electrical systems that can electrocute workers and others.  

Liability in Construction Accident Cases

Determining liability in construction accident cases can be complicated. Multiple parties could be responsible for the actions or conditions that caused a fall, mechanical issue, or another dangerous incident. Construction companies, contractors, subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and architects could all shoulder the blame for an accident. 

After years of practicing law, our Chicago construction site accident lawyers know how to approach these cases and determine liability by carefully analyzing facts and evidence. Not only that, but they are experienced negotiators and can skillfully represent clients in settlement meetings with construction company lawyers and insurance representatives.
