Construction negligence is a very complex area of law because of the interactions between Worker's Compensation, various levels of contractors and subcontractors, contractual obligations, OSHA violations, and more.
If someone is injured on a construction job site, aside from the injury being reported, it is important to consult with a lawyer right away to ensure that you build the right team of lawyers around you, which will likely include both a construction negligence attorney and a Worker's Compensation attorney.
Most of the time, those injured on a construction job are union members, which also has its own set of rules, issues, and extensive damages to be sought.
It is important to reach out to an experienced attorney in this area of law should you find yourself or a loved one in such a situation.
