Legal Recourse For Workers Injured in Construction Accidents

Attorney contributor, Jeff Gibson represents victims of construction accidents in legal claims. Below, Jeff has generously shared his knowledge of the legal options available to these victims and their families:

Most injured construction workers are able to receive workers’ compensation after an accident. In addition to this, under certain circumstances, injured construction workers may be able to file a third-party liability lawsuit. For example, if a construction site has a dangerous property condition and the property owner does nothing to fix the issue, then he/she may be held liable for the victim’s injuries.
