Compensation For Construction Accident Victims
Construction workers know about the everyday dangers they face in their jobs. Still, they have the right to expect that management will take every precaution to make their jobs as safe as possible. When a construction company, fellow employee, or other subcontractor causes an injury, it is often necessary to investigate what happened, preserve the evidence and file a lawsuit.
The Law Offices of Lane & Lane, LLC in Chicago has a substantial record of helping workers obtain justice - the full, fair and complete compensation they deserve for past and future pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, medical expenses, lost wages and other expenses.

Types of Construction Accidents
To sue someone as a result of an on-the-job injury, you must be able to prove that that person or organization is at fault. It can be difficult to gauge who was legally at fault for an accident, but we know the steps to take to do it. We are well-versed in determining safety violations, OSHA violations and other causes.
Just a few types of construction site accidents that often result in catastrophic personal injury or wrongful death are:
- Construction Equipment Accidents
- Falls from Ladders and Scaffolding Collapses
- Falling Objects
- Electrocutions and Arc Flash
- Inadequate Supervision
- Collapses of Walls, Columns or Roofs
- Crane Accidents
Workers' Compensation in Construction Accidents
In some construction accidents, filing a workers' compensation claim is the only remedy available when, for instance, the person or company at fault for causing the accident is the victim’s co-worker or employer. Construction companies and contractors must by law carry workers' compensation insurance, no matter what the size of the company. We will work hard for you to try to discover all of the remedies that are available to you. We can help you with this process. It is important to discuss your case with an attorney in order to fully understand all of your options.
