Why You Need a Construction Site Accident Lawyer After Being Injured
When you’ve been hurt on a construction site, the responsible parties’ first priority isn’t making sure you’re taken care of—it’s protecting themselves from liability and minimizing what they have to pay.

Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Construction site accidents involve multiple parties, federal OSHA regulations, workers’ compensation laws, and potential third-party claims that most people aren’t equipped to handle alone. Without experienced legal representation, you’ll miss opportunities for additional compensation beyond workers’ comp and never hold all responsible parties accountable. General contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners all have their own insurance companies and legal teams working to shift blame and minimize payouts.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Construction sites typically involve multiple insurance policies from different companies, each trying to blame the others and pay as little as possible. These insurers know exactly how to minimize their liability through proven tactics like quick settlement offers, disputing the severity of injuries, and claiming accidents were the worker’s own fault. They’ll pressure you to accept inadequate compensation while you’re still recovering and before you understand the full extent of your injuries or future medical needs.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
Time works against your construction accident claim in multiple ways. Evidence disappears from job sites, witnesses’ memories fade, and strict legal deadlines approach. Indiana gives you only two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, while Michigan and New Mexico allow three years. However, waiting too long means losing crucial evidence that could make or break your case, especially when multiple parties are involved and each is pointing fingers at the others.
What to Do After a Construction Site Accident
Taking the right steps after a construction accident can protect both your health and your legal rights to compensation.
See What Your Case Is WorthEven if you think you’re okay, construction accidents can cause internal injuries or concussions that aren’t immediately apparent.
Notify your supervisor and ensure an official incident report is filed with all relevant details about what happened.
Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any defective equipment or unsafe conditions that contributed to the accident.
Don’t let anyone clean up the scene, repair equipment, or remove materials until everything has been properly documented.
Get names and contact details from coworkers or others who saw the accident happen.
Save medical bills, incident reports, and any communications with your employer or insurance companies.
Avoid detailed statements to insurance adjusters without legal representation present.
Early legal representation helps preserve evidence, meet deadlines, and prevent insurance companies from taking advantage of you.

The Hard Truth
Construction Site Accident Statistics That Demand Action
The numbers don’t lie—construction work is incredibly dangerous, and as your advocates, we believe you deserve to know what we’re up against.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction workers suffered 1,075 workplace deaths in 2023—the highest fatality count since 2011 and nearly 21% of all workplace fatalities despite representing only 7% of the U.S. workforce. These aren’t just numbers—they represent families destroyed by preventable tragedies.
The CDC reports that falls alone killed 421 construction workers in 2023, representing 39.2% of all construction deaths and nearly half of all fatal workplace falls nationwide. Most fatal falls occur from relatively modest heights, with 64.4% happening between 6-30 feet, proving that even “routine” construction work can be deadly when safety protocols are ignored.
The total annual cost of construction injuries reached $11.5 billion, representing 15% of all private industry injury costs despite construction comprising less than 8% of the workforce. Construction accidents impose massive economic costs, with workers’ compensation averaging $1.02 per hour worked—more than double the $0.45 average across all industries.
Leading Causes of Construction Site Accidents
Most construction accidents are preventable, which is what makes these cases so infuriating. Understanding these causes helps us build stronger cases and hold all responsible parties accountable.
