Legal Options For Injured Construction Workers

Construction accident lawyer, Kevin Biniazan, helps injured construction workers receive the financial compensation they need and deserve. Kevin has given us some insight into the legal options available to these victims and their families:

Most construction injuries are covered by workers’ compensation, but there may be a scenario when injured construction workers can file lawsuits against third-parties.

Although these victims cannot sue their employers, a lawsuit can be filed if third-party negligence was a contributor to the accident. For example, a property owner may be deemed negligent if an injury was caused by a dangerous property condition or machine.
