Independence, Missouri Workers Compensation Attorney
Construction workers face hazardous working conditions from the moment they step onto their job site. Builders and construction engineers also put their safety in the hands of manufacturers, property owners and subcontractors on site. If you have been injured in a construction accident, you are one of over a million workers to suffer injury and lost earnings in a typical year.
Most construction workers are covered under workers' compensation insurance. If you get injured, you can file a workers' compensation claim. In most cases, however, you will be unable to file a further claim against your employer. In some circumstances, you may also be entitled to seek further compensation from third parties who may be liable for your injuries as well. As an example, these parties can include the subcontractor who set up the scaffolding that fell over. The manufacturer of the weld tank that exploded. Even the property owner who failed to inform the work crews of potential soil instability. There are numerous potential third parties who may have liability for your workplace injury.
