In the past, an injured worker had no recourse. Today, a construction worker hurt on the job is able to obtain compensation for medical bills, lost income, earning capacity and other expenses. However, it is important to be represented by an attorney with experience in handling matters involving construction site accidents. This will ensure that the injured construction worker obtains the maximum compensation possible.

Handling both worker's compensation and third party claims
Workers injured on construction sites may have two sources of compensation for their medical bills, lost wages and other costs of their accident. The Massachusetts worker's compensation system provides payment for all injured workers, regardless of fault. In addition, if a third party, such as subcontractor, was responsible for the injury, the worker may be eligible to file a claim against the third party.
Our lawyers can handle both matters on behalf of injured employees. Our goal is to obtain maximum compensation to minimize the consequences of the accident and injury on the life of our client and his or her family.
Serious injuries require maximum compensation
Construction site accidents result in injuries such as brain injuries, spinal cord and back injuries, burns and amputations. Injuries such as these may affect the injured person's ability to earn a living and support his or her family. Denner Pellegrino LLP has obtained millions of dollars for victims of construction accidents. We look at all possible sources of compensation in our effort to get the best outcome possible for our clients.
