North Carolina Construction Accident Attorney

Injured in a construction accident?

If you were injured in a construction accident, you should speak with a knowledgeable attorney about your rights to compensation. An experienced North Carolina construction accident lawyer at Lanier Law Group can meet with you to discuss your options for filing a claim, inform you of your rights, and help make sure your best interests are protected throughout the legal process.

Recovering Compensation for a Construction Accident

Because construction work is one of the most dangerous occupations in the country, people who work on construction sites must exercise due caution at all times. All it takes is one slip and fall, one electrocution, or exposure to a dangerous substance for a construction worker to find himself severely injured, disabled, or even killed.

If you have suffered an injury while working on a construction site, you can file for benefits through the North Carolina workers' compensation system. These benefits are available to any person who is injured on the job, and provide financial compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost wages. Furthermore, unlike most other injury claims, the victim does not need to establish negligence in order to recover damages. As long as the victim can prove the injury occurred at work, he or she will be eligible for workers' compensation benefits.

By filing for workers' compensation benefits, you no longer have the option of filing a personal injury lawsuit against your employer. You can, however, file a personal injury claim against a third party for damages. For example, if you suffered an injury due to defective machinery or tools, you can sue the manufacturer of the defective products.
