Personal Injury Lawyers Helping Construction Site Injury Victims in Maryland, Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia
Construction sites are inherently dangerous work environments. Between machinery, heavy materials and the nature of the work involved, construction site accidents are almost inevitable. That does not mean you don't have options in pursuing compensation for your injuries and losses.
After seeking appropriate medical treatment, you should also consult with an attorney who can help you make a workers' compensation claim and, if appropriate, a third-party personal injury claim.
At the law firm of Dobbs & Baker, we help people injured in construction site accidents pursue full, fair compensation, both through the workers' comp system and with related claims. We are equipped to help clients on both fronts, and we know how to reconcile each side to maximize compensation recovery for our clients. Contact our Rockville, Maryland office to schedule a free consultation today.
Knowledgeable Representation in Construction Accident Claims
Our firm represents clients throughout Maryland, Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia who have been injured in construction site accident resulting from a wide range of causes, such as:
- Falls from ladders or scaffolds
- Scaffolding accident or roof collapse
- Forklift accidents
- Truck accidents that take place on-site or in transit
- Chemical spills and exposure
- Construction material defects
- Machinery malfunctions
- Improperly maintained electrical wiring and plugs
A construction site accident can have a devastating effect on your health as well as your finances. We are here to help you recover full compensation through all legal means, including both workers' compensation and any appropriate third-party personal injury or products liability claims.
Attorneys Robert Baker and Michael Dobbs have extensive experience with filing successful applications for workers' compensation benefits. We will help you through every step of the process from the initial paperwork through any appeals that might be necessary. We will not be paid any legal fees unless we obtain benefits for you.
If someone other than your employer is responsible for your injury, you can file a third-party personal injury or products liability claim against that party. We will investigate the circumstances of the accident to determine whether a subcontractor, independent contractor, property owner or manufacturer may be liable.
Our lawyers understand how to collect evidence, use experts for accident reconstruction and assess the value of your claim including loss of wages, medical bills, pain and suffering and any future permanent impairment you might have. We will pursue your work injury claim all the way to trial, if necessary.
We Know How to Combine Personal Injury and Workers' Comp Claims Properly
When you file a personal injury lawsuit related to a workers' comp claim, your attorney needs to know exactly how to proceed. In Maryland, for example, the Workers' Compensation Board needs to be consulted, and your workers' comp benefits may be reduced. If you do not proceed correctly, you could end up with a lien against your property that will have to be paid back if you recover compensation from a personal injury claim. We know how to combine these claims correctly.
