Liability for a Minneapolis Construction Accident
Of all work industries in Minnesota, the private construction industry has the highest fatality rate. Around half of those fatalities are caused by slips, trips, and falls that occur on construction sites. The construction industry also has one of the highest non-fatal injury rates among all industry sectors in the state.
It’s rarely easy to recover the compensation you need after a Minneapolis construction accident. If you’re an employee, you may qualify for workers’ comp. Workplace injury lawyers can assist you with the claims process, helping ensure that you don’t settle for a low payout.
If you don’t qualify for workers’ comp, you may need to file a personal injury claim. Parties that might be found liable for your injuries include:
- General contractors
- Subcontractors
- Other companies
- Equipment manufacturers
- Drivers.
Compensation After a Minneapolis Construction Accident
Minneapolis Construction Injury Compensation Is Always Unique
Just as each accident is different, so is every settlement. There is no “average” amount to expect as the specifics of your case determine the value of your settlement. This includes factors such as the severity of your accident, the nature of the consequences, and the extent of the at-fault party’s negligence. That said, most injury cases provide compensation in several common areas.
Some of the types of compensation our lawyers can help you fight to recover include reimbursement for:
- Medical bills
- Ambulance bills
- Assistive devices
- Attendant care costs
- Lost wages and benefits.
When injuries are permanent, you may never be able to return to work. In cases like this, lawyers can help fight for future expenses such as anticipated lifetime earnings, future medical procedures, or lifelong attendant care costs.
