Heavy Machinery Accident Injury Attorney
Hurt by a Piece of Heavy Machinery at Work? We Can Help You Seek Compensation
Accidents involving heavy machinery on a construction site are unfortunately common and they can be very dangerous. If you or a loved on have been involved in such an accident and wish to seek financial compensation for your injuries, you need to consider the legal complexity of the situation.
Going after construction companies as a worker can be difficult because of the way construction companies usually operate. Many of them hire primarily contractors and do not subscribe to workers’ compensation insurance. This can make winning a case against them difficult.
Workers’ compensation insurance is designed to provide financial coverage for injuries sustained by employees while on the job. In return, the employee is typically not eligible to bring a personal injury lawsuit against his or her employer. If the employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance (what we call a non-subscriber), then an employee who is injured on a job site is allowed to bring a personal injury suit against his or her employer.
Unfortunately, construction workers are often brought on as contractors rather than employees. Employers don’t have the same legal responsibilities to contractors as they do to employees and, even if the employer is a non-subscriber, bringing a personal injury suit against that employer can be complicated.
Due to this legal loophole, many construction companies hire only contractors and then don’t pay for workers’ compensation insurance. They think they can avoid paying for coverage and still be immune to law suits using this underhanded defense strategy.
And it often works. Many law firms will simply throw out your case as soon as they learn that you are a contractor. The personal injury attorneys at Grossman Law Offices, however, know how to handle these cases. Our attorneys have twenty years of experience in making sure even contractors are financially compensated for their injuries. If you have been involved in a heavy machinery accident while on a construction site, contact Grossman Law Offices. We will help you secure all that you are entitled to.
