Accidents at construction job sites, especially those involving a crane or heavy equipment, often result in serious injuries or death. Construction accidents can result in traumatic injuries such as spinal cord injuries, orthopedic injuries, neurological injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. A Miami construction accident lawyer can help you pursue the full compensation you deserve.
Although some workers may be limited to workers compensation benefits as a result of such accidents, not all contractors and employers are protected by workers compensation immunity. In such cases, a personal injury and negligence claims attorney with the knowledge and experience to handle construction site cases is crucial.
