Did You Know?    
 
 
Construction accident injuries may be covered by workers compensation.
Most are. The workers' compensation system is designed to provide benefits to injured workers no matter whether an injury is caused by the employers or employee's negligence. But there are some limits. Generally, injuries caused because an employee is intoxicated or using illegal drugs are not covered by workers' compensation.

 

Construction work can be very rewarding. Construction workers earn good money for a hard day's work, and they get good benefits. Construction yards can be among the most dangerous places to work, though. Toxic materials can contaminate the air around you, and heavy loads are constantly being moved around. If you've been injured while working on a construction site, Wyoming construction accident lawyers can help you recover damages to pay for medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering.

Not surprisingly, more than 2,100 people died in 2003 as a result of serious construction accidents. Another 400,000 people suffered construction accident injuries so severe that they were forced to miss work that same year (Bureau of Labor Statistics).

With the help of a Wyoming construction accident attorney, you may be able to recover damages to pay for doctor’s visits and for pain and suffering. A lawyer who specializes in Wyoming construction accident injuries can even help you petition OSHA, the government agency that deals with workplace safety, to help make you job site secure.

The most common construction related injuries include:

  • Crane accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Scaffolding accidents
  • Welding rod accidents
  • Dangerous or defective equipment accidents
  • Electrocution
  • Hazardous waste exposure
  • Hearing loss

The principal way to get money for your injuries is to take those responsible to court. Depending on the size of the project, many people can be held responsible. They range from the construction site owner, the contractor, architects and engineers, and even the manufacturers of construction equipment.

While the prospect of going to court might bring up images of long trial periods and frightening cross-examination, a Wyoming construction accident attorney will protect your rights. And if your case is especially strong, you may be able to settle your lawsuit and avoid a messy court battle.

Your Wyoming construction accident lawyer will prove that your injuries could have been avoided if the construction company acted carefully, with safety in mind. He will also help protect you on the witness stand.
