Demolition is one of the most dangerous parts of working in the construction industry. When something goes wrong, workers can be catastrophically or even fatally injured. Explosives aren’t the only danger: demolitions can lead to falling debris, scaffolding collapse, and other hazards.
When the worst happens, you deserve financial and legal assistance. The Florida demolition accident lawyers at Rosenberg & Rosenberg may be able to pursue maximum compensation for your family in one of two ways: a workers’ compensation claim or a personal injury claim.
Florida law requires that almost all construction companies purchase workers’ compensation insurance to protect their employees. However, the process of recovering benefits is not always straightforward. Our Florida workers’ compensation lawyers can guide you through this process by:
If third-party negligence played a role in your accident, you may have the right to file a personal injury claim, regardless of whether or not you are also eligible for workers’ compensation. For example, if a contractor was careless in setting the charges for a demolition, you could potentially recover compensation from both the contractor and your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.

Eligibility requirements differ depending on the kind of claim you file:
Even if you were partially or solely at fault for the accident, you are still entitled to workers’ compensation benefits according to Florida law. Workers’ comp is a no-fault system, meaning anyone who is eligible can receive benefits regardless of who caused the accident and without proof of liability.
If you file a personal injury claim, you may still be able to recover damages if you were partly at fault, but you need to prove that someone else was primarily responsible. Under Florida Statutes § 768.81, anyone who is “greater than 50 percent at fault” is ineligible for damages.
Our construction accident attorneys can investigate your injuries and look for all of the proof required of your claim. Your immigration status does not matter when it comes to seeking compensation: Rosenberg & Rosenberg is proud to help all workers.

Controlled demolition is the most effective way for contractors to clear lots for new construction projects when the property owner wants to start fresh. Not only does this mean setting multiple explosive charges, but it can also involve navigating abandoned or dilapidated properties. It is up to employers to follow the strictest safety standards to keep their workers safe in such situations.
When employers or others fail to take demolition risks seriously, the consequences can be devastating. Common risks on demolition sites include:
These and other accidents can result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and lacerations—all of which can cause severe physical pain and keep you out of work for an extended period of time.
