Construction Site Injuries

Minneapolis-Saint Paul Construction Site Injury

Lawyers Helping People across Minnesota

Construction is, by nature, a dangerous business. It does not need to be made more dangerous by obvious hazards and negligent activity on the part of other contractors. If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries on a construction site, you should find out if you can get compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other consequences.

The lawyers of Thomas B. Schway & Associates can speak with you free of charge to discuss your situation and figure out if you have a case. We can meet with you in our Oakdale law offices, conveniently located outside the hectic downtowns of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Our lawyers can also visit you in your home or at the hospital. Contact us right away to set up an appointment.

Third Party Claim vs. Workers' Compensation

Almost all employers must carry workers' compensation insurance, which limits the types of lawsuits that employees can bring against employers for construction site injuries. But whether or not your case involves workers' compensation, you may have a separate suit against a subcontractor or other third party.

A third party is basically anyone besides your employer who might have been responsible for a workplace accident. For example, say you were working on a construction site, and a crane operator dumped something heavy on you, causing a serious injury. If the crane operator was employed by a subcontractor, you could institute a third-party lawsuit and get more compensation than would be available just through workers' compensation.

Get Our Help with a Free Initial Consultation

How do you know if your construction site injury can result in a third-party claim? The best way to know for sure is to tell your story to an experienced attorney. If you contact us, we will listen to your story and give you our assessment, free of charge. Even if your case only warrants a workers' compensation claim, we will be happy to help.
