What can I do if I get hurt at my construction job?

If you are in an accident while working at a construction site, you should notify your employer or supervisor in writing about your injury as soon as possible. Do not try to continue working after the injury. This often makes your injury worse. You may want to consider talking to a work injury attorney to find out if you are able to seek legal compensation.

What can I do if I think my workplace is unsafe?

If you have concerns about your safety in the workplace, inform your supervisor of any potential dangers. Then, follow this up in a written note that identifies your concerns. If your employer fails to address these issues, file a complaint at the nearest Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) office. OSHA can then conduct an official inspection of your workplace.

Am I entitled to more than what workers' compensation provides?

Maybe. Some cases may allow you to receive benefits beyond workers compensation. If a third party, such as a contractor, property owner or defective product, caused your injury, you may then be able to file a third party claim to gain injury compensation. If the reckless actions of your employer injured you, you may also be able to file a personal injury claim against your employer.

Who is responsible for making sure a construction site is safe?

Typically, property owners or general contractors must ensure that a construction site is safe. If you are in a construction accident because one of these individuals failed to keep the premises safe, then you may pursue a claim for injury compensation.

Should I talk to an attorney if I was hurt on a construction site?

It is in your best interest to talk with a personal injury lawyer after an injury at a construction site. An attorney can give you specific advice about your situation as well as discuss your ability to file for workers compensation or another type of legal claim.
