Do You Need an Attorney for a Hartford Construction Accident?

While it is your choice to either hire an attorney or represent yourself during a Hartford, CT construction accident case, having an attorney on your side can have a significant impact on your case. A lawyer can help you fully understand your injuries and get the medical treatment you need.  They can make sure no insurance company or claims adjuster takes advantage of you and help you secure fair compensation for your injuries. While workers’ compensation is typically available to injured construction workers, it may not provide nearly enough if your injuries are severe.  Your attorney will help you identify who is responsible for what happened and hold them acountable.

Construction Accident Facts in Hartford, CT

According to OSHA, more work-related deaths occur in the construction industry than in any other U.S. industry. In 2018 alone, 1,008 construction workers in the US lost their lives while working on job sites. This was 21.1% of all worker fatalities in 2018. In the same year, construction accidents also took the lives of many other innocent bystanders, pedestrians, and drivers. OSHA cited four main types of accidents (minus highway collisions) as the cause of more than half of all construction worker deaths in 2018. They were:

  1. Falls
  2. Struck-by objects
  3. Electrocutions
  4. Caught-in/between or compressed

Transportation accidents, scaffold accidents, dangerous work environments, lack of protective gear, and defective products are all common causes of construction site injuries in Connecticut. Whether you were a worker at the construction site when your accident happened or an innocent passerby, you could be entitled to financial compensation from a negligent party. Discuss your individual case and rights as an accident victim with the lawyers at The Flood Law Firm today.
