Legal Claims for Construction Accidents in Miami

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that falls are the most common way that construction accidents occur. The construction industry is one of the most dangerous fields of employment in the United States. Frequent injuries include head, back, and spine injuries as well as fractured arms, wrists, and legs, sprains, whiplash, and bruising. Because no two cases are the same, you deserve a legal remedy that’s as unique as you and your case. Because of high injury rates in the construction industry, Florida has strong laws that protect the rights of injured construction workers.

Laws for Construction Accidents in Florida

Multiple legal avenues might apply to help you get compensation when you’re hurt in a construction accident. First, Florida’s workers’ compensation system might apply to your claim. Workers’ compensation in Florida is a way to make sure that people who get hurt working in construction have their expenses covered.

If you make a claim through workers’ compensation, you can ask for compensation for your medical bills as well as payment for missed work. These payments can be a welcome relief for you and your family. The workers’ compensation system pays injured workers without them having to prove that the accident was the employer’s fault. A workers’ compensation claim may be your best option to get the compensation that you deserve after a construction accident.

Civil Claims Attorneys for Construction Accidents

Workers’ compensation isn’t always the best path after a construction accident in Miami. Workers’ compensation doesn’t cover you for pain and suffering damages. It also doesn’t provide a complete remedy if the accident is the fault of a third party like a contractor, property owner, engineer, or developer. Your best option may be to bring a claim against one of these third parties for negligence or reckless conduct.

Products Liability Attorneys for Construction Accidents

You may have even more options. If your accident occurs because of a defective tool, a faulty piece of equipment, or another broken object, you may bring a products liability claim against the product manufacturer. Any tool, equipment, or gear that you use that malfunctions can be the basis of a product’s liability claim. In some cases, you might pursue multiple avenues to get the recovery that you deserve after a construction accident in Miami.
