If you were injured while working at a construction site, and your injury was due to the negligence of a third-party (i.e., someone other than your employer), then you may be able to recover compensation above and beyond Workers’ Compensation. A potentially responsible third-party may be a property owner, a third-party contractor, a subcontractor, or an equipment manufacturer. Contact us to determine whether a negligent third-party is responsible for your construction or workplace injury.
