Rockville Construction Accident Lawyer
Our Rockville, MD Construction Accident Lawyer Fights For Your Rights
A career in the construction industry is one of the most dangerous ones in the country. In fact, all four of the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration’s (OSHA) “fatal four” most deadly workplace accidents are present on construction sites: falling from heights, struck-by accidents, electrocutions, and caught-between accidents. These often lead to severe, sometimes fatal, injury. Even if you have proper safety gear, you’re taking a risk every time you clock in for work. And, while most Maryland construction employers have Workers’ Compensation insurance coverage to cover medical care after an accident, these benefits do not come close to covering all your losses after an accident. Our Rockville, MD construction accident lawyer can help you understand your rights, including filing a suit for damages.
Many people believe they cannot file a suit for their losses if they get workers’ comp. This isn’t always true; in fact, many people injured on a construction site may be eligible for a large settlement from the person or entity responsible for the accident and their injuries. At Antezana & Antezana LLC, we understand the opportunities offered by Maryland personal injury laws quite well, and we’re happy to explain your legal options in a free consultation. Call us today to get started.
Filing A Suit After A Construction Site Accident
Nearly all Maryland employers with at least one other employee are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. These benefits are employer-sponsored and free to you; in fact, your coverage begins the very first day you start working. Workers’ comp covers all necessary medical care for your injuries, plus a partial wage replacement so you can pay your bills while you’re recovering.
However, you likely suffered other losses in the accident. If another party caused your injuries (i.e., not your employer), you may be eligible for a third-party settlement in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits. We can help you understand your legal options in these cases.
For example, a negligent subcontractor or vendor may have failed to set proper warning signage, improperly completed their phase of the job, making the site unsafe, or improperly completed lock-out/tag-out protocols, causing electrocution. In these cases and similar ones, the injured construction worker can file a lawsuit against the third party for their losses and retain their workers’ comp benefits since the accident occurred on the job site.
How Our Construction Site Injury Attorneys Can Help You
You don’t have to settle for the pittance Maryland workers’ comp offers. In a third-party lawsuit, you may claim compensation for all your lost wages, plus loss of earning potential if your accident caused a disability. You can also claim compensation for pain and suffering, plus scarring and disfigurement, which you would not be able to get with workers’ comp.
Our lawyers investigate the cause of the accident and gather evidence against the at-fault party. We then build the case on your behalf, respond to all motions filed by the other side, and negotiate a fair settlement for you. At Antezana & Antezana LLC, we have the experience you need for a successful outcome of your legal matter and the resources to properly build the third-party claim.
