Construction work accounts for a significant number of lost-time injuries, serious injuries, disabling injuries, and fatal accidents. If you have been hurt at a construction site or remodeling job as a result of someone else's negligence, or if you believe you have a wrongful death claim for the loss of a family member, contact Dallas D. Norton for a free case analysis.
We represent injured workers and their families in metro Denver, Boulder,
Colorado Springs and throughout Colorado.
For the most part, employees are unable to sue employers for negligence. Workers compensation benefits in Colorado are often the sole and exclusive remedy for an injured worker against an employer or co-employee. However, if you are injured as the result of someone else's negligence, you may have a claim. We may be able to settle out of court or file a suit against any other third party who caused injury or death to a Colorado construction worker.
Often claims can be made against other independent contractors or subcontractors working on a different portion of the project. We can represent injured roofers, electricians, general contractors, carpentry workers, framers, equipment operators, landscapers, general laborers and anyone else injured at a construction site. We can also represent highway workers, construction crews and flaggers injured by negligence or negligent drivers.
To make a successful personal injury claim at a construction site we must identify a potential defendant other than the employer or a co-employee whose negligence caused or contributed to your injuries, damages and losses. It is often difficult or impossible to make a claim "up the ladder" against a general contractor or developer. The defendant will usually be another subcontractor, a homeowner, a supplier, a manufacturer, or even a negligent driver.
Injuries seen at the worksite are often very serious and may include burns, spinal cord injury, brain damage, broken bones or even wrongful death. It is important to hire an attorney promptly to preserve and maintain critical evidence that could be lost with delay. Ultimately, a successful recovery will depend on establishing liability on another entity or worker and proving damages. Because of the number of people in and out of construciton sites, evidence is often lost or destroyed. In a construction accident or even a workers compensation injury case the out of pocket losses and other damages are more easily identifiable. The difficulty comes in establishing liability since the construction site is constantly being improved with the goal toward completion. For this reason it is important to document everything possible with pictures and even by notifying OSHA.
At Norton Law Offices, we pay attention to detail. The preservation and presentation of your evidence can make the difference between a successful claim or a loosing lawsuit. For a free consultation about your rights following a serious or fatal injury at a construction worksite, contact personal injury attorney Dallas D. Norton. In-home, evening and weekend appointments are available.
