Chicago Construction Accident Lawyer
If you have been hurt on a construction site, you need an attorney who can help you get full and fair compensation for your injuries. This may be done through a workers’ compensation claim, a personal injury lawsuit or both.
In construction accident cases, it is our practice to get on the site as soon as possible and gather evidence of how the injury occurred. We look for the when, where and how of each case. We quickly identify the architect, electrical and plumbing subcontractors, carpenters — anyone who could have been responsible for the injury.

Our Construction Accident Lawyers Help with Workers’ Comp and Personal Injury Compensation
If you have suffered a work injury on a construction site, a construction accident lawyer at our law firm may be able to help you file a third-party liability personal injury claim in addition to your workers’ compensation claim. A third-party claim may be for damages against the equipment manufacturer, property owner, general contractor, or other negligent third party.
Workers’ comp benefits alone may not be enough to cover the damages caused by a construction accident. We aggressively evaluate all construction site actions for potential third-party liability and will seek recovery from all responsible parties, including machinery manufacturers, the property owner, the developer, the general contractor, and any subcontractors.
