Summer is in full swing and one can see construction projects across the Louisville metro area.  Construction workers are often exposed to the risk of injury in their line of work.  It is important to seek counsel if you are injured in a construction accident in Louisville or anywhere in Kentucky.

Construction sites often contain structures such as scaffolding, ladders and roofs and the risk of a fall resulting in injury is quite high.  A worker may be injured due to falling objects such as tools or construction materials or exposed to dangers such as exposed wiring and electrocution.  There is often a high potential for serious injury or a fatal accident.

Some construction accidents result in permanent injury requiring alterations in your work life as well as changes in your home, profession and even vehicles.  In these cases your experienced HLH attorney work to develop a “Life Care Plan” which can help a jury to understand the past, present and future financial consequences associated with your injury.

It is not uncommon for there to be many different sub-contractors on a given construction site and the actions of one group may cause injury to another.

Who is responsible for your injury claims at a construction site?  When you are injured on the job in a construction accident you may file a workers’ compensation claim.  When the injuries are due to the negligence of another person or party you may also be able to seek additional third party personal injury compensation.

These cases can be legally quite complex which is why it is important to seek counsel if you are injured in a construction accident.  If you or someone you love has been injured in a construction accident we invite you to contact HLH or call (866) 583-9701 for a free consultation.  There is no cost to you out of pocket as we work on a contingency fee basis.
