Construction Injury Representation for Lockport, NY

Getting You the Justice You Deserve

Construction is a physically demanding occupation. It presents a lot of dangers because of the presence of heavy equipment, tools, materials, and the various heights at which work occurs. There is also an abundance of people working closely together, all focused on their own tasks. It is easy to get injured on the job when working in construction, especially if the proper safety precautions are not taken.

When you are injured on the job, it usually results in a significant injury that puts you out of work for a long time. The medical bills tend to be quite expensive as well. However, you still need to pay your bills and take care of your family. Dealing with insurance agents and lawyers from your employer can be intimidating when discussing personal injury settlements and insurance payouts. They know personal injury law well and you likely do not. It is easy for you to be taken advantage of in this situation. Hiring a personal injury attorney to represent you will help to alleviate these concerns for you.

• Negotiations: Insurance adjusters will argue with you for hours about insurance payouts. They will explain to you why they are only paying so much. It is a grueling process for someone who wants to recover from their injuries. Our lawyer will handle negotiations for you so that you can recover from your injuries.
• Workers’ Compensation: Workers’ compensation premiums are high due to the high risk involved with construction jobs. It is illegal, in most states, for employers to not provide this insurance. However, some construction companies will refuse to submit a workers’ compensation claim because they do not want their premiums to increase. Our personal injury attorney will represent your best interests when this occurs and advise you on the steps you can take when this occurs.
  
• Speed: Insurance companies and your employer may try to drag their feet for as long as possible if you do not hire an attorney. Hiring an attorney shows them that you are taking the matter seriously and that they will have to work with someone who is experienced and knowledgeable. This will make them work much more quickly to resolve your case.
•  Knowledge of Law: Our personal injury attorney stays up to date on the latest changes in the laws and regulations surrounding personal injury and its relations to the construction industry. This allows us to best serve your interests and achieve a favorable result for you.
• Better Payouts: Your lawyer knows the law well. They know what insurance companies can cover and to what extent. Our personal injury lawyer will use this to your advantage and present you with a solid case that demands your top payout possibilities. Insurance adjusters are much more likely to take advantage of an injured person who knows no better and has no representation.
