Construction Accidents

It’s important for construction accident victims to understand the various methods of compensation. Civil claims are made against parties whose negligence or wrongdoing contributed to the workers’ injuries – these are called “Third-Party Claims”. Successful third-party claims may provide more in compensation than workers compensation benefits.

Premises Liability Claims
