Construction Accident Attorney – Kansas City and Springfield Areas
Construction sites can be dangerous work environments, which is why contractors have a legal responsibility to protect their employees from injury. Failure to maintain a safe construction site or adequately warn employees and visitors of potential hazards is considered negligence, and the contractor may be held liable for any personal injury that occurs as a result. If you have been the victim of a construction accident, an attorney from our Kansas City firm, serving Springfield and surrounding areas, can help. Learning about the types of injuries that are often involved in construction accident claims can help you decide whether to contact us and pursue a claim.
Construction Accident Injuries
Construction projects vary greatly with respect to the type of work they involve; so, too, do the types and causes of injuries sustained by construction workers. A victim of a construction accident may sustain a broken bone, sprain, burn, abrasion, spine or back injury, or even a brain injury. Some at-risk employees may be working on scaffolding at dangerous heights, while others may be working in excavation projects deep underground. Whatever the circumstances of your construction accident, an attorney can help you determine if the accident could have been prevented. If your injuries can be traced in any way to the negligence of an employer or contractor, you may be eligible for damages. Some of the most common construction accident cases involve:
- Electrical injuries (including burns)
- Trenching and excavation accidents
- Welding accidents
- Flammable or hazardous materials
- Asbestos
- Compressed gas
- Defective or improperly maintained equipment
- Crane accidents
- Being struck by an on-site vehicle
- Falls
If you have suffered an injury because of a construction accident, contact an attorney from our Kansas City firm, which also serves Springfield, today. Our lawyers have a reputation for reaching favorable verdicts and settlements for our clients.
Workers’ Compensation
Most victims of construction accidents are eligible for workers’ compensation, which provides financial compensation to employees who are injured on the job. However, workers’ compensation rarely provides enough financial support to compensate for the lost wages, medical bills, physical therapy costs, and other expenses that arise after a serious personal injury. Furthermore, it can never make up for the emotional burden, loss of time, and diminished quality of life that can come with a traumatic construction accident. An attorney at our Kansas City firm can help you obtain additional compensation for these immeasurable losses. Although no settlement can ever compensate you for the life-altering changes a construction accident can cause, it can help prevent you and your family from incurring additional expenses, debt, and stress.
