The stress that comes not just from your injuries and the trauma of the construction accident itself, but also from the resulting medical bills, is overwhelming.

CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
Construction workers face a wider variety of hazards and a greater risk of work-related injury or death than employees in any other U.S. industry. On average, two people every week lose their lives in work-related accidents in Washington State. Another 250,000 employees file workers’ compensation claims due to job-related injuries and illnesses each year.
CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT CLAIMS ARE IN ADDITION TO WORKMAN’S COMPENSATION
While Washington State workers cannot sue their employers or co-workers for injuries caused in the workplace, they may file what is known as a “third party” action. If you have been injured in a construction accident caused by someone other than your employer while on the job, our Seattle personal injury attorneys have the training and experience to develop the critical evidence necessary to prove your construction accident claim.
Third party actions are in addition to Workers’ Compensation. A third party claim might be made against:
- someone who is not a co-worker;
- the manufacturer of defective equipment;
- a property owner who failed to provide a safe environment or warn of hazards, or;
- another contractor whose negligence caused the worker’s injury on the job site.
