Construction Accident Lawyers
Hurt on a job site? Beyond L&I, a third party may owe you full damages.
Construction remains one of the most dangerous industries in Washington. Falls, struck by incidents, equipment failures, and trench collapses cause life changing injuries.
If you were hurt at work, Labor and Industries (L&I) generally covers medical care and part of your wages, but it does not pay for pain and suffering. When a general contractor, subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer other than your employer caused the injury, you may have a separate third party claim for full damages.
Common construction injuries
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding, and roofs
- Struck by falling objects or moving equipment
- Electrocution
- Trench and excavation collapses
- Defective tools and machinery
Third party claims
Washington law allows injured workers to pursue claims against negligent parties other than their employer. Contractors on multi employer job sites have safety obligations to everyone working there. We coordinate the third party case with your L&I claim so you are not left repaying benefits out of a settlement unnecessarily.
Don't undersell your case.
Talk to a trial lawyer before you talk to the insurance company. The consultation is free, and you pay nothing unless we win.
