Overview

Working in the construction sector can be satisfying because of the pay and the standard of the work. However, the cruel side of construction activity becomes evident when an unexpected accident results in serious injuries. You may be kept from obtaining justified workers’ benefits or jury awards for medical expenses by complicated forms, rules, and other barriers.

A Madison construction accident lawyer will fight for your rights if this happens to you. The fact that you suffered injury in a construction accident does not automatically entitle you to financial compensation. To get the compensation you are owed, you need an experienced construction accident lawyer from MacGillis Law Group, LLC.

Types of Construction Injuries

Common accidents in the construction sector include:

Accidents involving cranes or hoists: Cranes and hoists are important construction equipment. Serious accidents can occur on construction sites, though, as a result of factors like operator error, inadequate training, and others.

  • Falls from heights: Tragic construction accidents can result from scaffolding accidents, ladder accidents, roofing accidents, and other falls from heights.
  • Slip and Falls: Broken bones, sprains, and other injuries can result from slipping and falling on concrete.
  • Injuries from repetitive tension: Some construction work’s repetitive nature can lead to repetitive stress injuries in the joints, wrists, and back.
  • Gas leaks, fires, and explosions: These events can happen suddenly and fatally. For instance, carbon monoxide might be hazardous in a small construction area.
  • Forklift-related accidents: Forklifts can be risky and cause catastrophic construction accidents if they are operated carelessly or without the required training.

Filing a Madison Construction Accident Lawsuit

When full-time and part-time employees (who are not categorized as independent contractors) suffer an accident as a result of workplace activities, filing a personal injury lawsuit is usually out of the question. To receive compensation, these workers must go through the workers’ compensation system. However, there are a few instances where a personal injury lawsuit may be the best alternative. These are the exceptions to the rule:

  • The injury was caused by someone unrelated to your job, such as a passing pedestrian.
  • The injury was intentionally caused as an evil act.
  • For another reason, the injury does not qualify for workers’ compensation.

How we approach this

What we actually do for you.

01

Getting Workers’ Compensation in Madison

Worker’s compensation laws in Madison protect employees who are injured or get sick on the job. These rules ensure that you obtain benefits for work-related injuries, and this coverage is available to the great majority of Wisconsin workers in a variety of industries. Many of the clients we have successfully compensated were unaware they could be compensated for work-related injuries. This is frequently the reason why employers fail to register a claim for benefits at all. In most circumstances, the Worker’s Compensation Act applies to both part-time and full-time employees, as well as individuals in both the commercial and public sectors.
