Documenting a construction accident injury or wrongful death
Employment in the construction industry can be one of the better-paying and yet more dangerous lines of work an individual can have. According to numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 150,000 construction accidents which result in injuries, and sometimes a even a wrongful death, take place on a yearly basis.
Construction site accidents in Minnesota often result in injury or wrongful death
In the event you work construction and you’ve suffered a serious injury, will you look to hold the relevant party or parties responsible for your injuries? By doing so, you can increase the odds you will get the proper financial compensation to help with the physical and emotional injuries you’ve suffered.
Document your construction injury to the best of your abilities
- Documenting what happened – Be sure to document all the details of your incident to the best of your abilities. To start with, how were you injured? Construction site mishaps can include falls, burns, electrocution, debris falling on a worker, severe lacerations and more. You want to be sure and clearly indicate how you were injured and who is to blame.
- Detailing injuries suffered – The types of injuries you suffered can have a major impact on your life now and down the road. Among some of the more construction site injuries can be damage to the head and brain, broken bones, serious lacerations, neck and back pain, damage to your sight and hearing and more. You want to document all injuries and have them confirmed by medical personnel. Also do your best to have medical experts pinpoint expected time of recovery for any notable injuries and also any long-term fallout from the injury.
- Eyewitnesses and/or video evidence – When having suffered a serious injury or injuries while working a construction site, do you have any witnesses to the event or video evidence to support your claims? Having a credible witness or witnesses can lend more support to your legal claims. If you have video evidence of how you were injured, this too helps. There may have been security cameras at the location that captured you being injured. You might also have evidence on your phone that show the immediate fallout from the incident.
- Long-term outlook – When dealing with one or more serious injuries from a construction mishap, having a sense of your long-term outlook is key. Will you miss a lot of work due to your incident? If so, how do you plan to pay your bills? Even with good medical coverage, you could be facing serious financial issues if work is not an option. This is all the more reason to hold the construction site, any management etc. accountable if they are why you were seriously injured in the first place.
