Recent Review:
“I got hurt at work in September of 2021. I went to The Frickey Law Firm, because I had never been in this spot and did not know how to proceed. From my initial interview to the end of my case I was treated with great empathy and respect. My case was complicated and took almost three years. I did get treated and got a settlement. I was always informed about what was going on and treated very well. After all this time they feel like family. If you get hurt and do not know what to do, these are the people you want on your side!”

Coordinating Work Injury and Third-Party Construction Injury Claims

Construction sites are innately hazardous environments, and accidents can lead to severe injuries, life-changing trauma on the body, and even fatalities. What sets The Frickey Law apart is our focus on coordinating work injury cases with third-party claims. Many individuals might believe they have only one legal avenue for compensation, but in reality, you may have two.

Our unique approach comprehensively examines whether there are grounds for pursuing a third-party claim.

In the aftermath of a construction injury, you must understand what workers’ compensation can offer, the scope of its limitations, what other options may be present in your situation, and the particular circumstances of your unique case.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

If you’re injured while working at a construction site, you can typically file a claim for and receive workers’ compensation. The result is coverage for medical expenses and lost wages. However, these benefits often only partially address the extent of your damages.

Third-Party Claims

Beyond workers’ compensation, there might be situations where a third party, not directly affiliated with your employer, contributed to the incident. These third parties can be property owners, contractors, or manufacturers of equipment used or involved in the accident. Pursuing third-party claims allows for a more comprehensive recovery, encompassing damages not generally allowed under workers’ compensation.

Identifying Potential Third Parties in Construction Accidents

When presented with a potential third-party claim, several parties must be examined for their possible role in the unsafe conditions and circumstances that led to the accident.

Property Owners

The proprietors of a property are required under law to maintain safe conditions on their premises. Failure to warn of dangers or address hazardous areas is not only a violation of various regulations, including federal regulations under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Contractors and subcontractors

If a separate contractor’s or subcontractor’s oversight, recklessness, or otherwise negligent actions or lack of action contributes to the accident, they could be held responsible in a third-party claim.

Equipment Manufacturers

Defective Equipment can lead to construction accidents. Manufacturers may be culpable for damages resulting from faulty tools or machinery.

Others

Various parties, including drivers not employed directly by the company, can also be held accountable for negligence leading to construction accidents and injuries.

Compensation for Construction Accident Damages

When you choose Frickey Law to handle your construction accident case, you’re not just getting legal representation; you’re gaining an ally committed to securing exhaustive compensation and advocating for your rights. The damages commonly included in construction accident claims are:

•   Current and future medical treatment costs
•   Rehabilitation and therapy costs
•   Assistive devices
•   Lost wages or future earning capacity
•   Physical and emotional pain and suffering
•   Diminished quality of life
•   Loss of consortium
•   Scarring and disfigurement
•   Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
•   Injury-related necessary home modifications

Note: What is gross negligence in Colorado? Conduct, actions, or behavior that are reckless or neglectful but in an intentional manner fall under “gross negligence.” Failure and negligence cross the line from ordinary neglect, which tends to be simply careless in nature, to purposefully or vindictively negligent.
