What Is My Construction Accident Case Worth?

As part of our investigation into your case, our construction accident lawyers in Westchester County, NY, will determine how much your case is worth by considering how severe your injuries are and how they affect your life. Your payout also depends on what kind of case you file: a workers’ compensation claim does not allow you to seek as broad a range of damages as a personal injury claim does.

A personal injury case could entitle you to compensation for:

• Past and future pain and suffering
• Reduced quality of life
• Loss of income and/or earning capacity
• Loss of job benefits, such as union benefits

Can I Still Recover Damages If I’m Partially at Fault?

In workers’ compensation claims, fault does not matter. If you were injured on the job, you are entitled to benefits. In personal injury claims, a third party may be automatically liable for your injuries, depending on the cause of the injury and even if your own actions partially contributed to your injury.

A Westchester County construction accident lawyer from our firm can determine who was at fault and how that liability impacts your case.

Proving Negligence After a Construction Accident

If you file a personal injury case, you must show that a third party — often a building or construction site owner or a contractor — behaved negligently or violated a statutory obligation owed to you. Negligence might include:

• Failing to provide workers with legally required safety equipment.
• Pressuring workers to operate in hazardous conditions.
• Failing to provide appropriate training or warnings.

We can use evidence like worker testimony, company records, and photos to prove negligence in your case. Then we can use expert testimony and medical records to establish a connection between the liable party’s negligent act and your workplace injury.

Deadlines for Filing Your Construction Injury Lawsuit

You have a limited time to file your case. Your deadline will depend on whether you file a workers’ compensation claim and/or a personal injury claim and/or a wrongful death claim. Missing any deadline could jeopardize your case and make it much harder to recover compensation.
