Jefferson County Work Site Injury Attorney
Statistically, falls from ladders, roofs, walls and scaffolding are the primary result of injuries suffered by builders and workers in the construction trades. About 10 percent of all construction workers face the danger of an on-site accident that will result in medical care, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. Most injured workers are covered under Alabama workers' compensation insurance, but the monthly benefits only replace a portion of the lost pay, while the worker recovers away from the job. Many injured workers are not aware that they may also seek additional compensation from all parties other than their employer, who may be found responsible for the accident, injury or illness.
We Look for Every Available Option to Get You the Money You Need
At the Drake Law Firm, in Birmingham, we believe that injured workers deserve a law firm that isn't afraid to stand up and fight for their rights. We have a successful record of helping injured builders and construction workers recover full and fair money damages — over and above workers' compensation benefits. We offer a free consultation to discuss the circumstances of your Alabama construction site injury and evaluate your options for pursuing a 'third party' lawsuit for your fall injury.
We can help you seek additional compensation against parties who may share liability for your construction site fall injury, including:
- The property owner or subcontractors who failed to safely prepare the ground for the safe erection of scaffolding or elevation equipment
- The manufacturer and/or installer of scaffolding equipment found to be defective and dangerous
- The negligent supervisor or subcontractors on site, who failed to follow safety precautions
- The construction vehicle equipment operator who failed to drive or operate the crane or other equipment safely
