Today, the construction industry is one of the most dangerous occupational fields for workers. Despite state and federal safety laws and regulations through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), construction accidents cause injuries, illnesses, and fatalities every day. If you have suffered an illness or injury as a result of an accident on a construction site, our Chicago construction accident attorneys are here to protect you and your right to recover damages and maximize any financial compensation available to you.
Construction accidents are complex and require a thorough investigation by a legal advocate that puts your interests first. While workers’ compensation benefits may provide you with disability income, lost wages, and payment of medical expenses following a construction accident, you may be entitled to more. Depending upon the details and circumstances surrounding your construction accident, a construction accident lawyer can identify additional avenues of recovery from third parties.
When faced with a construction injury, do not wait to seek legal advice from a lawyer with specific expertise and a record of success in construction accident litigation. At Vinkler Law, our construction accident lawyers have extensive experience in all aspects of construction claims and litigation, helping construction workers and their family members receive maximum compensation for their injuries.
