A job site accident, such as falling off the roof at a construction site, can result in a serious injury or disability. Your ability to support your family can be significantly jeopardized if your construction injury limits your ability to return to work, especially if employment in your current line of work is no longer possible due to your injuries. Sadly, this is a reality that many construction workers are forced to confront after a severe construction accident. At the Attleboro law office of Dennis P. Bisio, I provide relief to injured construction workers and their families.
I use my more than 30 years of experience when reviewing your construction accident injury and assessing your options. I have been handling work injury claims for decades in Massachusetts and know how to overcome the obstacles that either delay or keep people from getting the benefits they are entitled. For an honest assessment of your construction accident case, contact me, Dennis Bisio, and schedule your free case evaluation.
Massachusetts Work Injury Lawyer for Injured Construction Workers
Without a careful assessment of your case by an experienced work accident lawyer, you may be at a disadvantage in pursuing rightful benefits and other compensation. My experience and resources enable me to review a construction site accident to evaluate the cause or contributing factors. Although workers' compensation laws keep you from filing a claim against your employer for your injuries, in some situations, there may be third party negligence that would permit you to seek compensation in a third party personal injury claim.
- Construction site falls: Have you or a loved one fallen from collapsed scaffolding, from an uneven ladder, from the roof of a building or from any other elevated surface? Serious falls can lead to a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury or other disabling injury. In addition to workers' compensation income benefits and medical bill payment benefits, you may be entitled to disability payments for your permanent injury.
- Construction equipment accidents: Have you suffered a construction injury involving a negligent forklift operator or other heavy equipment operator? Construction equipment can be dangerous for all workers at the site if the equipment malfunctions or is used improperly. I can help you obtain the partial or permanent disability payments you may be entitled and determine if you are eligible for additional compensation in a third party liability claim.
- Other construction accidents: Have you lost a hand or finger in a power tools- or machinery-related accident involving a defective safety guard? Have you suffered a back injury or other repetitive stress injury from hauling equipment or other work-related strain? Occupational and vocational rehabilitation therapy may aid in getting you back to work — at a pace that is right for you, not a pace forced upon you. Additionally, when a partial disability, such as an amputated limb keeps you from working on construction sites, vocational rehabilitation can aid in getting you back in a related work-field that you may be qualified for. Such medical treatment is covered under your workers' compensation benefits.
- Fatal construction accidents: When a family member dies as a result of electrocution, a serious fall or other construction accident, you may be eligible for workers' compensation death benefits as well as third party liability compensation in a wrongful death claim. I can guide provide you with the necessary information so that you can make an informed decision of how you would like to proceed.
