FAQs

What should I do immediately after a construction accident? 

After a construction accident, your safety and well-being come first. Seek medical attention if needed and report the incident to your supervisor. Document the accident scene, injuries, and any potential witnesses. It's essential to consult with an experienced construction accident attorney to protect your rights and determine the best course of action.

How can I pursue compensation for my construction accident injuries?

To pursue compensation, consult a construction accident lawyer like David at Southeastern Law Group. They will help you gather evidence, assess liability, and negotiate with insurance companies to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Is workers' compensation my only option for compensation? 

While workers' compensation provides benefits to injured workers, you may have additional avenues for compensation. If a third party (not your employer) contributed to the accident, you may be eligible for a personal injury claim. Consulting an attorney is crucial to explore all potential sources of compensation.

What if I was injured due to unsafe work practices or inadequate training?

If your injury resulted from unsafe work practices or inadequate training, you may have a valid claim against the responsible party. This could be your employer, a subcontractor, or another party involved in the project. An experienced construction accident attorney can help determine liability.

How long do I have to file a construction accident lawsuit in South Carolina?

In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for construction accident lawsuits can vary based on the circumstances. It's essential to consult an attorney promptly to ensure you don't miss the deadline for filing your claim. David at Southeastern Law Group can guide you through the specific timeline for your case.
