Injured In A Workplace Construction Injury Accident?

What Should I Do If I Have Been Injured In A Construction Site Accident?

If you have been hurt in the workplace, especially in the construction industry, it is vital you follow these steps to improve your chances of recovering damages.

1. Seek medical attention immediately. It is important not just that you receive the medical attention you need to treat your injuries, but also that you have them assessed, examined, and documented by a medical professional as quickly as possible to prove they were directly caused by the construction site workplace accident.
2. Report your accident and injury to your employer. Note this has to be your actual employer, which will not always be the company running the construction site. Be sure to do so correctly to get the compensation and disability processes going as it is up to them to submit the official reports to OSHA and other authorities.
3. Document evidence at the scene. You should take pictures as well as retrieve the contact information of any witnesses to ensure both your injury, the situation which caused it, and the general state of the construction site are all documented for your future claims.
4. Contact an experienced construction accident injury lawyer, like us, who will help you make your claim and receive the compensation settlement you deserve.
