At the Blackwell Law Firm, our goal is to obtain the maximum compensation for your personal injury. Our experienced injury representatives frequently represent workers injured in traumatic industrial or construction accidents. To learn more about obtaining benefits after an incident of this nature, enlist the help of a Huntsville construction accident lawyer.
When a worker suffers a personal injury on an industrial or construction site, the case starts with Alabama workers’ compensation benefits. Some attorneys neglect workers’ compensation issues. We do not. We fight for full benefits. We help our clients navigate a complex and confusing workers’ compensation system to get needed medical care. Unlike some other attorneys, we do not believe clients should navigate a difficult medical system alone.
When an injury leaves a worker with a long-term disability, we fight to get those benefits for our clients as well. We prepare our workers’ compensation cases for trial. We believe the best results come from preparing cases fully. We have real trial experience in counties throughout Alabama. If you have suffered a serious construction accident in Huntsville, you need a hardworking attorney who will aggressively advocate for injured victims.
Workers’ compensation benefits are limited in Alabama. You cannot sue your own employer for negligence to recover additional compensation. However, if someone outside your employer acted negligently and caused your injury, you can pursue claims against that person or company. Lawyers often refer to these claims as third-party claims.
We investigate your accident. We explore and pursue third-party claims for you. Sometimes, third-party claims involve cases against another driver who caused your injury. Sometimes, third-party claims involve cases against other companies present on a job site. Many industrial and construction work sites involve multiple contractors.
We have investigated and pursued numerous third-party claims on construction and industrial work sites. We understand the relationships between contractors on sites.
A few examples of cases where we have successfully pursued claims against other contractors in recent years include:
We understand the complex workers’ compensation, safety and contract issues between contractors on industrial and construction work sites. We regularly review safety and OSHA-related issues. We have inspected and analyzed important industrial equipment such as scissors lifts, scaffolds, cranes, forklifts and other equipment. We understand issues related to safety training and activity hazard analyses on job sites. As part of our work, our skilled attorneys in Huntsville routinely engage construction safety experts and have cross-examined experts at trial.
Our philosophy involves representing the whole client. Some attorneys only handle workers’ compensation claims. Other attorneys only handle the separate third-party claims. We believe those limited approaches are not in the best interest of the client. Instead, a trial lawyer should represent the whole client in an effort to obtain the maximum recovery possible. If you are seeking an attorney for a serious personal injury on an industrial or construction site where you might have multiple claims, you should ask several questions:
