Construction Injuries
If you are a construction worker injured in a construction accident, you probably have more than a worker's compensation claim: you may also be able to seek compensation in a civil law suit. Check with us immediately. We offer a free initial consultation, and charge no legal fee unless we recover damages for you.
We know the construction industry from the ground up. . . We know the construction business, and know how to get to the bottom of a case in establishing liability of a construction firm. Attorney Mark A. Murray was a construction worker before he went to and a union member while he worked his way through college and law school, and is a former member of International Laborers Union Local 731 and is currently a member of the Communication Workers Local 1101.
He has seen injured construction workers trying to work with crippled fingers and bad backs. He knows his way around a construction site and what which procedures and practices should be followed by construction companies in order to prevent accidents. He also knows which policies and procedures are actually followed by those companies. A slip-and-fall, a tumble fall from a ladder or scaffold, or a backhoe accident, are some of the things that can often be foreseen and prevented by construction companies. Mr. Murray knows how construction companies might attempt to avoid liability for such construction accidents.
We understand how insurance companies and their representatives think. Insurance companies are looking to minimize their economic exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred. The insurance company attorneys try to undermine each aspect of a claim. We know their tactics. We take each case on as if it will proceed to trial. Negotiations could lead to a settlement acceptable to you. But insurance companies know that the attorneys of Murray & Hopkins' are not afraid to take a case all the way to jury verdict if that is what is necessary to produce the best possible result. Contact us now. We offer a free consultation, and charge no legal fee without recovery.
Early investigation to prevent construction companies from losing or destroying documents may be crucial to an injured construction worker's case. The construction industry has constant turnover of workers from one company to another. Mr. Murray knows the importance of early investigation to find and keep in contact with important witnesses.
Sometimes companies will try to get a worker to come back too early from a workplace injury and then lay him off, to avoid paying workers' compensation. When a municipality is may be involved in a construction project, it must be notified of a claim in writing within 90 days of the accident or else it could becomes immune from liability.
Getting sound legal advice as soon as possible after a construction accident can be very important to your future. You can rely on Murray & Hopkins to safeguard you from the tricks construction companies, their insurance companies, and their lawyers might attempt to use against your interests. Sound investigation and the ability to try a case in front of jury, are key elements to our success in construction litigation. We will fight to obtain justice for you. Our goal is to maximize the compensation you deserve for your injury, so you can get back to work if possible and get your life back on track. Contact us now.
