TABLE OF CONTENTS
Construction projects are a common sight in Toledo. Construction is an industry that employs a lot of people in the area, but it’s dangerous work. There is a lot of physical labor, and workers do their jobs near heavy equipment, construction vehicles and hazardous materials. When construction workers are injured on the job, Gervelis Law Firm fights for their rights.
Common types of construction accidents include falls from heights, explosions, slip and falls, being struck with a heavy object, fires and construction vehicle crashes. Injuries can range from broken bones and internal injuries to catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injuries. It may take months for some workers to recover. Others never fully recover.
The Ohio workers’ compensation system can help injured workers pay for medical treatment and some of the wages they’ve lost. Workers’ compensation laws also prevent you from suing your employer after a workplace accident. But if a third party was responsible for the accident – such as an outside vendor or an equipment manufacturer – our attorneys can help you take legal action to recover additional compensation beyond medical expenses and lost wages.
Fighting to get you maximum compensation
Our legal team will investigate your accident to find out what really caused it. We know where to look for evidence that a third party was responsible. We review all relevant documentation, including accident reports, safety records and medical records. We also identify and interview witnesses to the accident. If needed, we can bring in experts who can help us understand what happened.
We fight to hold third parties accountable and help you take legal action for damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life and disability and disfigurement. Our attorneys build strong cases and are always prepared to fight for you in court. Many times, this convinces the insurance company to negotiate a favorable settlement.
If you’ve been injured in Toledo construction accident, we advise talking to an attorney as soon as possible. While you have two years from the date of injury to consider taking legal action against a third party, it’s in your best interests to call now. Over time, important evidence can be lost and the memories of witnesses can fade.
