How Our McCandless Construction Accident Lawyers Handle Cases

Contact us as soon as possible after your injuries so that our attorney can begin work promptly. We need to determine what happened and who is liable. This is the only way to hold the at-fault party accountable and recover the compensation you are entitled.

What was the Cause Of Your Accident?

We know what causes construction accidents and how much they can affect the daily lives of victims and their families. Some common causes of construction accidents include:

Falls and other premises liability injuries
Truck accidents
Forklift accidents
Caught-between and collapse accidents
Electrocutions
Dangerous and defective tools

The type of workplace accident plays a significant role in who could be liable for the injuries. Property owners must keep their premises safe for workers and visitors and motor vehicle operators must follow all traffic laws and safety regulations. Product manufacturers must design, manufacture, and market safe products.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Your Accident?

Once we understand the cause of your injuries, we can identify the liable party or parties. Some of the most common defendants in these cases include:

The owner of the property or construction site
The general contractor managing a project
A negligent driver who causes a crash
A company also working on the same worksite
The maker of defective equipment

What Evidence Does Your Case Need?

We need evidence of fault and liability to hold the responsible party accountable for your construction accident injuries. This requires us to investigate your case and gather evidence, which may include:

Video of the incident
Eyewitness testimony
An accident scene survey
Documentation of past violations and injuries
Your relevant medical records
Industry expert input
Medical expert testimony
Documentation of damages

Our McCandless construction accident attorney will work to recover the compensation you are entitled to cover your expenses and losses. We present the most compelling evidence possible and demand the insurance company pay for your accident-related damages.

While many cases settle out of court, we will take your case to trial if necessary. We will not back down from pursuing compensation on your behalf just because the case becomes challenging or complex.

Seeking Compensation for Your Construction Accident Injuries and Damages

When you suffer injuries, the expenses and losses begin almost immediately. Your medical care, time missed from work, and even going to the doctor for follow-up appointments cost money. When you file a construction accident case, you are seeking compensation to pay for these costs.

While each case is unique, there are two broad categories of recoverable damages. They include:

Economic Damages

Your economic damages are those that cause actualized financial losses. They could include your medical care, income lost while you miss work, and out-of-pocket expenses. Future care costs and income losses also fall into this category, too.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are intangible. They do not have a definitive financial value. They include physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and other psychological damages.

What About Wrongful Death Damages If a Family Member Died?

Our attorneys represent families who lost a loved one in a McCandless construction accident. We can file a wrongful death lawsuit or negotiate a settlement to help surviving family members recover damages.

Hiring a McCandless Construction Accident Attorney Quickly Has Advantages

We tell injured parties and their families to contact us as soon as their injuries are stable, and they can make the call. Having our team on their side and our lawyer managing their legal case as soon as possible ensures we can protect their rights and build a strong argument for compensation.

With our attorneys on your side, you can count on us to:

Protect you from insurance company tactics to reduce the value of your case
Ensure you get the necessary care and support you need
Meet all applicable deadlines in your case

When we need to take legal action against the liable party, Pa. C.S.A. § 5524 generally gives us two years to do so. Your attorney will discuss this possibility with you and answer your questions before we file in Allegheny County court.
