As a construction worker, you are exposed to a wide range of hazardous materials on a daily basis. The job requires a great deal of physical toughness, as many roles expose workers to falling debris, heavy machinery, electrocutions, and possibly asbestos. Construction is not for the faint of heart.

There are long-term health issues associated with the construction industry with workplace injuries being a major cause. At Zanes Law, our construction accident lawyers in Mesa have represented victims in all types of construction accident cases. We can represent you too.

If you or someone that you know has been injured in a workplace accident at a construction site, whether it be a slip and fall or machinery accident, our personal injury team can help you file a claim to receive rightful compensation.

Common Injuries Reported to Construction Injury Lawyers

There is an array of injuries capable of happening on a construction site. The activities that take place make every laborer susceptible to the risk of injury. In providing legal representation to our community members, our law office has seen the following injuries reported:

  • Broken bones
  • Fractures
  • Burns
  • Scrapes
  • Lacerations
  • Electrocution
  • Joint injuries
  • Eye injuries
  • Shoulder, neck, or back injuries
  • Brain injuries
  • Rashes or lung complications
  • Catastrophic injuries

While some of these injuries are treated and heal over time, some are long-lasting and have even caused paralysis or disfigurement. The pain, diminished quality of life, and additional stress from the injuries can all be severe enough to pursue legal action.

Causation of Construction Accidents and Injuries

The construction industry is a dangerous environment that runs on the demands of its city. Many people just see the finished buildings or remodeled highways and don’t consider what it takes to make it happen. Long hours, inflated work orders, and high stress is not uncommon for laborers.

Even with safety guidelines from workplace safety organizations like Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), accidents do occur. Common causes for construction accidents include:

  • User error with machinery
  • Defective equipment
  • Exhaustion
  • Lack of protective gear
  • Slip and falls from improper housekeeping
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals or dust
  • Overexertion
  • Crumbling structures
  • Lack of visibility
  • Unsafe contact with work equipment
  • Rushed training
  • Dangerous shortcut methods

No matter how the injury occurred, you deserve a safe work environment and money to cover any financial needs that arise from being hurt. If you are the victim of a construction accident, seek the legal advice of a construction accident lawyer in Mesa.

This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

Compensation for Construction Accident in Mesa

The state of Arizona requires employers to provide employee liability insurance, also known as workers’ compensation, to part-time, full-time, and contract employees. In the event of a construction accident, you can file a claim to have all incident-related expenses covered.

If your claim is denied or you are a part of the select group that is exempt from workers’ compensation, speaking with an attorney can help you to explore your legal options. If you decide to move forward with filing a lawsuit, the value of your package will typically cover:

  • Medical expenses like examinations, rehabilitation, or prescriptions
  • Punitive damages if they apply
  • Wage loss
  • Changes in benefits
  • Emotional trauma
  • Pain and suffering

How Negligence Is Proven in a Mesa Construction Accident Lawsuit

As the plaintiff filing the lawsuit, it is on you to prove that someone else’s negligence led you to be injured. The proof has to be direct and shows that in most cases, what happened to you is avoidable and highly unlikely. These few factors qualify as the burden of proof:

  • Duty of care: For example, the construction company owes the duty of care to provide a safe work environment.
  • Breach of duty: If a duty of care is owed by a machine’s manufacturer to be safe, that duty of care is breached if the machine malfunctions due to a flaw in the design and harms someone. The breach has to be a reasonable expectation.
  • Injury: You suffered damage to some extent, such as a broken bone or property damage.
  • Causation: If it weren’t for the negligent action of the company or individual, you wouldn’t have experienced loss.

The two ways to obtain compensation are by filing a claim through workers’ compensation or by filing a lawsuit with your Mesa construction injury attorney. Most often, these cases are settled during the negotiation phase but your lawyer will be prepared for trial too.

 

Wrongful Death Due to a Construction Accident

While construction sites are more prone to injuries, there is never a way to prepare for anyone to pass away from the injuries sustained. We are sorry for any family that has to move forward with this grief and are here to help the dependents of the deceased recover from the loss.

If you lost a loved one due to negligence in a construction accident, you may qualify for a wrongful death settlement covering:

  • Loss of consortium
  • The decedent’s medical treatment expenses
  • Loss of income
  • Household bills
  • Funeral and burial expenses

The wound left by the loss of a loved one can never be filled, but pursuing legal action will hold those liable accountable for any financial losses experienced.
