What rights do I have if I've been injured in a construction accident?
As a construction worker injured on the job, you have the right to pursue workers' compensation benefits, and potentially, the right to file a personal injury claim against responsible third parties. Each case is different, so it's crucial to seek legal counsel to understand your rights fully under Alabama law.
Should I accept the settlement offer from the insurance company?
It's always wise to consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement offers. Insurance companies often seek to minimize payouts. A lawyer can help evaluate whether the offer truly covers all your damages, including potential future costs related to your injury.
How long will it take to resolve my construction accident claim?
The timeline for resolving a construction accident claim varies widely depending on its complexity, the extent of your injuries, and the willingness of the involved parties to settle. At Woodard Law Firm, we take all necessary steps to expedite your claim while ensuring no compromise to the compensation you need and deserve.
What if a loved one died in a construction accident?
If a loved one has died due to a construction accident, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit. While no amount of compensation can replace your loss, it can help alleviate financial strains and provide a semblance of justice for your loved one's death. It's essential to discuss your case with an attorney who understands the seriousness of the situation and is committed to helping you through this challenging time.
