Seattle Construction Accident Lawyer

If you or a loved one were injured in a construction site accident you may not be able to return to work for a long period of time, or at all. A Seattle construction accident lawyer can help you recover financially from the at-fault party. With no money coming in and medical and rehabilitation bills piling up, what do you do?  The last thing you should worry about while you’re recovering from a construction site accident is how you will pay for your living expenses, medical bills, and rehabilitation bills.

Due to the heavy equipment and nature of the work, construction site accidents often lead to severe, catastrophic injuries. Catastrophic injuries typically result in long hospital stays and even longer recovery times.

How Can a Seattle Construction Accident Lawyer Help?

A Seattle workers’ compensation attorney can help you file a workers compensation claim against your employer. However, workers compensation is typically woefully inadequate. Oftentimes, a construction accident injury occurs due to negligence or illegal behavior. If you were injured due to a product malfunction, negligence, or illegal behavior, we can help you recover through a third-party liability claim or negligence action.

For immediate relief, a construction accident attorney can help you file a workers compensation claim. When you file a workers compensation claim, your employer’s insurer may:

  • Undervalue your injury,
  • Not approve you to see a different doctor, or
  • Force you to come back to work earlier than expected.

A Seattle construction accident lawyer can negotiate with the workers compensation insurers on your behalf to ensure you receive the coverage and time off work you need. An attorney can also:

  • Respond to requests for additional information.
  • Gather accident reports and medical documents to prove the extent of your injury.
  • Hire expert witnesses or medical personnel to testify to the need to see another doctor.
  • Interview witnesses and collect witness statements to bolster your injury claim.
  • Attend all settlement negotiations and handle all correspondence from the insurance company.

A Seattle construction accident attorney can assist you in recovering additional damages through a third party liability action against a product manufacturer or an intentional negligence claim against your employer. Whether you were injured by a machine malfunction or the negligent or illegal actions of your employer, a construction site accident attorney can help you pursue the settlement you deserve from the at-fault party.

What Damages Can I Recover After a Construction Site Accident?

You will spend precious time and resources recovering from a construction accident injury. In fact, a construction accident injury that requires medical attention can cost upwards of $39,000 while the cost of a fatality can cost your family members upwards of $1,150,000.

These figures include lost wages and medical expenses but they do not include temporary or permanent disability and continued rehabilitative care like physical therapy. So, how do you recover? A Seattle personal injury attorney can help! Our attorneys in Washington state can help injured construction workers secure the compensation they deserve from insurance companies.
