Construction Accident Lawyer Tonawanda, NY
The fear and worry about the future after a construction site accident can overwhelm your life, including wondering if you’ll fully recover or if you’ll be able to work again. The practical matters of paying your household bills, covering the medical care you need, and wondering what happens next can interfere with healing. You need a strong advocate to help you through this, beginning with understanding your rights and the legal options available to you.
Most injured construction workers are eligible for New York workers’ compensation benefits, which pay for all necessary medical care for your work injury and a partial wage replacement for any time you missed at work. Our Tonawanda construction accident lawyer can help you file your claim and address any problems that your employer or their insurance company may pose. If your claim is denied or minimized, we can draft and file an appeal on your behalf.
What if you’re not an employee of the construction company or contractor, but rather a subcontractor or site visitor? You may have grounds to file a lawsuit against the negligent party who caused your injury, seeking compensation for all your material losses and pain and suffering. Our firm represents you in this matter, too, investigating the cause of the accident, gathering evidence against the negligent party or parties, and filing the suit. We can negotiate a fair settlement for you, and are ready to take the matter to court if that’s what it takes to get you the compensation you deserve.
