Construction Accident Attorneys
We have dedicated our career to protecting the rights of construction workers in Florida. Did you know that construction accidents account for nearly one-third of workplace fatalities in our state? With Florida leading the nation in construction spending, issuing $37 million worth of building permits in 2020 alone, the risks to workers are significant. As your attorney, I’ll navigate the complex landscape of workers’ compensation and personal injury law to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve. Let me show you how we can fight for your rights and secure your future.
Construction Accident Claims
Florida’s Workers’ Compensation Law (Section 440.02) requires employers in the construction industry to carry insurance for all employees. This covers accidental injuries and occupational diseases arising from your work. However, workers’ comp only provides about 67% of your average weekly wage. That’s why I often explore third-party liability claims. Whether it’s a fall from scaffolding, a transportation incident, or exposure to harmful substances, we will investigate every angle. With our expertise in both workers’ comp and personal injury law, we will maximize your compensation and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Legal Considerations
Time is critical in construction accident cases. Florida’s statute of limitations gives us two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. We will act swiftly to protect your rights. While workers’ comp provides no-fault coverage, it often offers limited compensation. That is why we thoroughly investigate potential third-party claims against equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, or site owners. We are well-versed in OSHA regulations and how violations can strengthen your case. Whether negotiating with insurance companies or fighting in court, We will leverage every legal tool to secure the compensation you deserve.
