People who are injured on construction sites may be eligible for compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and more. But the source of recovery can vary, coming from workers' compensation or third-party litigation. Of course, injured workers may not know the best source of recovery for their particular case.

He has more than 20 years of experience assisting both plaintiffs and defendants in construction accident litigation. If he can help you, he will charge no attorneys' fees until you get compensation.

Types of Construction Accident Cases

When a hazard in a workplace causes a construction injury, one of the main issues is legal fault for hazard. If no one is at fault, or your employer is at fault, you can file for workers' compensation benefits.

However, if another person or organization is at fault, wholly or in part, you could have what is called a "third-party" case. Examples of third parties could be general contractors or sub-contractors. A third party case does not fall under workers' compensation, and so is not subject to its restrictions.

Mr. Finamore has handled many such construction and workplace injury cases. For example, In one case, he represented a carpenter who fell off a ladder because of dangerous conditions on the site. After investigating the case, Mr. Finamore made claims through both workers' compensation and a third-party claim against the general contractor. He took the case to trial and ended up getting a sizable settlement.

Of course, construction accident cases can involve many circumstances other than falling accidents. Situations from trench collapses to electrocutions are surprisingly common, and something can almost always be done to get compensation for injured workers.
