Construction Accidents

North Dakota construction workers are up against dangerous working conditions on a daily basis. As a result, construction accidents are an all-too-common occurrence. With these accidents come personal injury. We handle personal injuries related to the following construction-related accidents: unsafe working conditions falls from scaffolds, fires, explosions, burn injuries, defective or unsafe equipment, chemical leaks, electrical accidents, crane accidents, falling debris or material, or careless behavior at the worksite. Oftentimes construction accidents happen while someone is employed and working for a subcontractor. While it is true in most cases that a construction worker will be covered by their employer’s workers compensation and are not allowed to maintain a negligence action against their employer, if there are other subcontractors and/or the general contractor who are negligent, a case can be brought to recover medical bills, loss of earnings/earning potential, and pain and suffering directly against that third party. That is why it is important to contact an attorney to discuss your options in any particular case where you have suffered an accident while working at a construction site.
