How Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help
Offering Knowledge of Construction Laws and Regulations
Our personal injury lawyers familiar with construction site injuries have in-depth knowledge of the laws and regulations governing the construction industry. We understand the complexities of state and federal safety guidelines, as well as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. This knowledge allows us to navigate through the legal intricacies surrounding construction site accidents and determine the liable parties.
Investigating and Gathering Evidence
One of the key roles of a personal injury attorney is to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the construction site injury. Our attorneys work closely with investigators, accident reconstruction specialists, and other experts to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and document the accident scene. This evidence is critical in building a strong case and proving negligence or liability on the part of the responsible party.
Determining Liability
Construction site accidents often involve multiple parties, including property owners, contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and insurance companies. Identifying the liable parties can be challenging, especially when different entities are involved. Our skilled personal injury lawyers understand the nuances of liability and can help determine which parties may be held responsible for the injuries sustained. This may include exploring issues related to inadequate safety protocols, faulty equipment, or negligent supervision.
Working with Insurance Companies
Dealing with insurance companies can be a daunting and complex process. At Maurer Law, our personal injury lawyers are well-versed in negotiating with insurance companies on behalf of clients. We have the experience and legal knowledge to effectively communicate and advocate for fair compensation for our clients. By having an attorney by your side, you increase your chances of receiving a comprehensive settlement that covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term disabilities or impairments resulting from the construction site injury.
Assisting with Litigation and Trial Representation
While many personal injury cases are resolved through negotiations and settlements, some cases may require litigation and trial representation. In such instances, having an experienced personal injury attorney on your side is crucial. They will handle all aspects of the legal process, including filing the lawsuit, gathering additional evidence, presenting the case in court, and advocating for the client’s rights in front of a judge or jury.
