Construction Accidents

Fogelsville Construction Accident Lawyers

Injuries sustained while on the job at a construction site are usually covered under an employer's Workers' Compensation insurance. However, when a contractor or subcontractor is responsible for causing your injuries, you may be able to seek damages against them independent of any Workers' Compensation benefits you might receive. The law office of Snyder & Wiles, PC represents injured workers in personal injury cases where third parties are liable for construction injuries. Since Workers' Compensation may not be enough to cover all of your medical expenses and lost wages, seeking damages from the third party involved may be your only way of recovering all of your costs.

The CDC's National Center for Health Statistics reports that in 2004 (the most recent reporting period), 212,000 people in the construction industry sustained injuries that required days away from work, job transfers, or work restrictions.* If you are the victim of a job site injury, contact a construction accident attorney at our firm right away. In construction accidents, the scene of the accident can change quickly and vital evidence can be lost, so it is very important to discuss your claim with a lawyer right away.
