Anyone working on Florida construction sites knows they are dangerous. But they should never be more dangerous than they need to be. If obvious or negligent hazards cause a serious injury, the injured person should seek compensation.
Our trial lawyers are experienced in the litigation of construction site accident lawsuits in Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale and all of Broward County. Our lawyers meet with people free of charge to discuss their case, and do any later work on contingency, charging no attorneys' fees or costs until a settlement or verdict is achieved. Valid cases can involve any type of accident, including those involving: Many accidents on construction sites are covered under workers' compensation insurance, which all employers must carry. Workers' compensation makes employers immune from personal injury lawsuits arising out of an accident. But certain types of accidents, known as "third-party claims", are not covered by workers' compensation. Third-party claims involve suing people or companies other than your employer, such as other subcontractors, who are at fault for the accident. However, in October 2003, the Florida legislature passed a law giving subcontractors and other third parties an immunity to litigation similar to what is enjoyed by employers. Supposedly, you must prove gross negligence, such as willfully ignoring safety regulations. But this law has not made it all the way through the appellate process, and our lawyers are eager to find out if it is truly enforceable. Whether or not your injury is covered by workers' compensation, we can help. Keep in mind also that it can be difficult to find out the true reasons for an accident. It may seem at first that workers' compensation insurance is the only source of recovery, but upon careful investigation, it becomes clear that a third party or even defective equipment, such as a power tool, is truly to blame.
