Our lawyers do not charge upfront costs or fees. We work for a percentage of the total payout we recover for our clients. This is known as a contingency fee because it is contingent on us winning money in the case. You will only pay for our services out of the money we secure for you.
Construction sites, properties under renovation, and other premises with ongoing work can be hazardous places for workers and guests unless specific protocols are followed and safety measures are taken. This is why the Construction Industry Licensing Board, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and other agencies regulate the industry so heavily.
When safety violations or other issues occur, injuries can be catastrophic or even deadly. Some ways workers and guests could get hurt in a Plantation, FL, construction accident include:
When a worker is hurt on a property under demolition, construction, or renovation, they have options for seeking and securing compensation. Some workers may be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Others may have a viable third-party case against a negligent party. Sometimes, our Plantation construction accident lawyers can recover compensation through both of these avenues.
In Florida, workers’ compensation provides financial support for covered workers injured on the job. It pays for medical care and a portion of lost wages. Workers’ comp is a no-fault system. You do not need to prove someone else caused your injuries, and you cannot sue your employer if they provide this coverage, regardless of their negligence.
You could benefit from hiring our Plantation attorneys to manage your case while you focus on healing. This is especially true if you receive a denial, do not get the full benefits you expect, or have severe, life-altering injuries.
When someone—a worker or guest—is hurt on a construction site due to another party’s actions, they might have a negligence case against the at-fault party. Workers generally cannot sue their employer or a coworker, but the property owner or another party might be liable. These are known as third-party liability cases.
These claims provide compensation beyond workers’ comp benefits, including pain and suffering and other intangible losses. Rosenberg & Rosenberg can determine liability, gather evidence, and pursue legal action on your behalf if you qualify. Contact us as soon as possible after your injuries are stable so we can start investigating.
To recover damages in a fault-based construction injury case, our legal team must identify and document who acted negligently and how their actions or inaction caused your injuries. Some possible liable parties in work accident cases include:
Rosenberg & Rosenberg can identify all possible liable parties in your case as part of our investigation into what happened and why. This is crucial in order to build a convincing insurance claim or civil suit based on their negligence.
Construction accident injuries can vary widely in severity and type. Our work injury lawyers can help you navigate the workers’ compensation claims process or prepare and file a fault-based negligence claim. We represent clients who require treatment for minor or moderate injuries and those whose catastrophic injuries will likely prevent them from returning to the workforce. We understand why it is vital for both to recover fair compensation.
Some possible workplace injuries that occur because of ignored safety protocols, missing equipment, poor safety training, or a lax safety culture include:
How much your construction accident case might be worth depends greatly on the facts, your legal options, and the expenses and losses you suffered. When our lawyers pursue workers’ compensation, we work to get you approved for benefits or to negotiate a payout to cover your:
A third-party injury claim allows you to pursue additional damages. Our legal team investigates the costs you incurred and documents your expenses and losses. This could allow us to pursue and recover money for your:
While workers’ compensation insurance provides no-fault coverage, our Plantation work injury attorneys must prove the accused party was negligent and caused or failed to prevent your injuries to hold them liable in a civil case. This means we must investigate what happened, gather evidence, and show how their carelessness or recklessness caused you to suffer injuries.
The evidence available in these cases can vary, but some of the most common evidence Rosenberg & Rosenberg uses to support a compelling case for compensation includes:
In Florida, you generally have up to two years to file a third-party lawsuit under Florida Statutes § 95.11. You likely have up to 30 days to report your injury to your employer, according to Florida’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO). However, you want to get started much earlier if possible.
The sooner Rosenberg & Rosenberg knows about your case, the better. This gives us time to investigate, preserve evidence, and develop the strongest case possible.
