Types of Construction Accidents We Handle

Construction accidents can happen in a variety of different ways. Here are the most frequent types of accidents that occur at construction sites:

• auto collisions
• scaffolding accidents
• objects falling
• crushing accidents
• workers falling from heights
• electrical accidents
• equipment malfunction
• tripping hazards

Construction is a booming industry with a fast-paced work environment. People want things done quickly and sometimes cheaper. Not every accident is caused by this but a lot are. Employers don’t want to take the time to fully train their workers, so they send them off to work without the knowledge they need to keep themselves safe which causes catastrophe. Or, they don’t want to spend the money on equipping workers to keep them safe. There are things that workers need to wear and use that prevent injury and without that, accidents happen.

Our Boise construction accident lawyers will thoroughly investigate the cause of your accident and see why you got hurt. If it was because of carelessness or negligence, then you are entitled to full and fair compensation for your damages. We will fight to get you the results you deserve.

Construction Accident Damages

When you are hurt in a construction accident, a lot can be affected. Not only may your health suffer, you may not be able to return back to work for some time or possibly ever. You may not be able to enjoy life the same way, such as playing with your dog or going for hikes with your friends. You also may have a stack of hospital and doctor bills as well as a long journey ahead of you for physical therapy, which all adds up quickly.

When you seek compensation, you are in essence asking the insurance company to cover the damages you suffer. There are two types of damages for any given personal injury case: non-economic and economic.

Non-economic is going to be a lot harder to put a number figure on. There is no cost for you never being able to walk without a limp again. They can’t ring up the toll this accident took on your mental health. It is also your pain and suffering that gets factored in. If you are in constant pain and you need painkillers in order to just perform daily tasks, you are entitled to compensation for that.

Economic damages are bit easier to determine because there are ways of calculating it all on paper. If you have X amount of medical bills, that gets factored in. If you are expected to do physical therapy for X amount of dollars per session for the next six months, that can get run through a calculator. Furthermore, if you earned X amount of money per month and your doctor needs you to stop working for the next six months, that is all a matter of doing the math and coming up with the number.

The Biggest Mistake to Avoid
If you are seeking compensation and have to deal with an insurance company, it is going to be an obstacle. They want to save themselves money any way they can, which often means offering you a lowball settlement offer. Our Boise construction accident lawyers will strongly advise against you taking this, but the insurance company has a tool they like to use. They will call and ask you for a recorded statement about the accident. Do NOT give them one. If you agree to it, they can use anything you say against you to devalue or eliminate your claim. Instead, let your lawyers handle communication with the insurance company.
