Third-Party Claims In Construction Accidents

You cannot sue your employer, your supervisor or your co-worker for a construction site injury. However, you are allowed to bring a legal action against individuals or companies outside of your chain of employment if their negligence contributed to your accident.

We can explore claims against the property owner, subcontractors on the same work site, utility companies, material suppliers and other third parties. Our lawyers have experience with all types of construction accidents:

• Falls from heights — ladders, scaffolding, roofs, beams
• Slip-and-falls — tripping hazards, slippery surfaces
• Tools, machinery and equipment
• Heavy equipment accidents — cranes, forklifts, backhoes
• Vehicle accidents — work trucks or personal vehicles
• Electric shock — overhead lines, exposed wiring
• Fires, explosions or chemicals

We Understand That This Is Your Livelihood

Our firm has direct access to top medical specialists in Illinois. This not only assures that our clients get the best medical care but helps us gauge the legal merits and medical value of your case.
