Obtaining More Than Just Workers' Compensation Benefits

If you have recently been injured while working at a construction site, you are probably aware of your right to claim workers' compensation benefits for lost wages and medical expenses. What you may not know, however, is that injured construction workers often have other important legal claims.

The general rule is this: if the accident or your injuries were caused, at least, in part by the negligence of someone other than your employer or a co-employee ... you may be able to obtain significant additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit.

At Fiorentino Law Offices, we help Illinois construction workers obtain compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, permanent disabilities, pain, suffering, and other damages they have suffered due to job-related accidents. We have had extensive experience and success on behalf of injured construction workers. We understand the role that negligence and safety violations play in causing these accidents. We are prepared to protect your rights.

If you have been injured in a construction accident, your ability to obtain more than just workers' compensation benefits may depend on how quickly you contact a lawyer. The reason for this is that the scene of a construction site accident can change quickly. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that the vital evidence needed to prove your case will be lost.

Specific types of construction accidents we handle include:

• Falls from unsecured ladders
• Scaffolding accidents
• Injuries caused by falling debris
