Is It Necessary To Hire A Construction Injury Attorney After An Accident?

Although construction accidents happen frequently, they do not need to go unreported nor should compensation not be sought after. It is understandable that some times the circumstance of the accident makes it difficult to know whether or not an attorney is needed. Below are some of the factors to be considered in decided to hire a construction accident attorney.

Did You Suffer Losses?


If the accident caused you to suffer losses like medical expenses, lost wages and future medical expenses or needs, get a lawyer to recover these losses. A good construction accident attorney can help you recover these losses and also help reduce the amount of paperwork and issues associated with insurance and legal claims. In extreme cases a worker can die due to the accident they suffered and a construction accident attorney can help the family of the deceased recover in a wrongful death accident.

Furthermore, a knowledgeable construction accident attorney will help you understand how to file a civil lawsuit, the legal theories associated with the lawsuit as well as filing a workers' compensation claim in circumstances where it's applicable.

When Should You Hire An Attorney?


As soon as the accident occurs, it is best to hire a construction accident lawyer so that you can avoid costly mistakes. It's also important to know when your deadline is likely going to be to file your case. Deadlines vary from state to state so look into your specific state laws before filing. In general it is best to hire an attorney within a two week period.

What Are The Right Questions To Ask A Construction Accident Attorney?

Hiring an attorney can sometimes feel like an interview. Before settling on a construction accident attorney, you need to ask the right questions. First of all before you speak to an attorney, do your research and have detailed information about the construction accident and the injuries and financial losses that occurred.


Questions To Ask During Consultation

Once you have set up a face to face appointment with a potential construction accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
  1. How well versed is the lawyer in state and national workplace safety laws?
  2. How long has the lawyer been practicing law for?
  3. How many construction accident related lawsuits has the lawyer handled?
  4. How often has the lawyer settled?
  5. How many lawsuits have gone through litigation?
  6. What is the fee structure?
  7. What are the out-of-pocket expenses that you are likely to incur?
  8. Is the case going to work on contingency? If so what is the percentage you will owe the lawyer if you win?
Of course these are not the only questions to ask, you can come prepared with your own questions as well. After you have asked your questions, shop around and make sure you settle on a lawyer who works well for you and your case. If a settlement is offered to you by a representative of your employer do not take until you consult with your chosen attorney. The settlement may not be in your best interests and your attorney will definitely fight for the compensation you deserve.

Did You Take Too Long To File Your Lawsuit?


In the midst of an injury, so much is going through your head and the things to do can get demanding and filing a lawsuit can end up up being further down the line. But, is it possible to leave things too late?

How Late Is Late?

The answer to question is, no one size fits all. The time frame is going to be different for each state as each state has its own statutes of limitations. It is important to know as well that even in that time frame, the period will change based on the type of lawsuit you are filing. It is very likely that a plaintiff with a personal injury claim for injuries such as broken limbs suffered on a job, will have a one year frame to file the lawsuit. This may not be the case with a plaintiff with a very different lawsuit such a breach of contract. Make sure to look at your state laws and proceed from there.

Proceeding After Statute Of Limitations

Once you know the rules for statute of limitations for your case, determine when the clock starts ticking and proceed. The date when the injury occurred is when the clock starts ticking for your case. One thing to be aware of is that there is also the possibility that plaintiffs don't realize that they have been injured and when they do they can file a personal injury claim after that too. In general know these three things about how long you have to file:

  1.  When the harm occurs (date of harm)
  2. When you discovered later that you were harmed, a judge can determine this date in certain circumstances
  3. A later date when the plaintiff discovered the harm
