Financial Compensation For Victims of Construction Accidents

Construction accident lawyer, Aaron Blank, represents injured construction workers and the families of construction workers killed in construction accidents. Aaron shared some information on the legal options available to these workers and families:

When a construction worker is injured or killed on the job, there may be one or more legal options available to them. Most construction workers are able to receive workers’ compensation. Additionally, in some cases, injured construction workers may also have grounds for a lawsuit against a third party.

A negligent third party may be held responsible for a worker’s injuries if they contributed to the accident. For instance, a property owner could be held liable for ignoring a dangerous property condition prior to starting the construction project.
