Every construction accident case is different. The value of your claim depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment, time missed from work, your responsibility for the accident, and whether your injury causes permanent limitations.
Cases involving serious injuries—such as spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, or long-term disability—often result in significantly higher compensation. We can evaluate your situation, explain your options, and give you a clear picture of what your case may be worth based on Wisconsin law.
The compensation available after a construction accident depends on how the injury occurred and who was liable.
Workers’ compensation benefits are often the first source of financial support after a construction accident. In Wisconsin, these benefits are designed to help injured workers recover without having to prove fault.
Workers’ compensation benefits typically cover:
While workers’ compensation can provide essential support during your recovery, it has important limitations. These benefits do not compensate you for pain and suffering, emotional distress, or the full amount of wages you lose. That’s why it’s so important to explore whether additional compensation may be available through a third-party claim.
In many cases, injured workers may also have a third-party personal injury claim. These claims apply when someone other than your employer—such as a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer—caused your injury.
Third-party claims may allow you to recover compensation for economic and non-economic losses, including:
Our firm carefully reviews every case to ensure no opportunity for compensation is overlooked.
There is no upfront cost to hire an attorney from our law firm. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Your initial consultation is free, and we only get paid if your case is successful. This enables injured construction workers like you to obtain high-quality legal representation without incurring a significant financial risk.
Yes, in many cases. Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault for the accident. If you are found partially responsible, your recovery will typically be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Insurance companies often try to shift blame to injured workers by claiming you weren’t paying attention, didn’t follow a safety rule, or should have avoided the hazard. However, construction accidents are often linked to larger issues on the job site, such as unsafe conditions, inadequate training, inadequate fall protection, defective equipment, or multiple contractors failing to adhere to safety requirements.
If your compensation is reduced due to partial fault, our attorneys will work to minimize that impact by thoroughly investigating the job site, safety violations, and actions of other responsible parties.
Construction accidents can cause serious, life-altering harm. Even injuries that seem manageable at first can worsen over time, lead to long-term medical needs, or keep you from returning to work.
Common construction accident injuries include:
We will work to connect these injuries to unsafe job site conditions, defective equipment, or negligence by contractors, subcontractors, or other third parties.
Construction sites are busy, constantly changing environments, and serious injuries can happen in seconds. Accidents often involve a combination of hazards, including unsafe work areas, rushed schedules, inadequate training, or equipment malfunctions.
We regularly handle construction accident cases involving:
In many cases, more than one party may be responsible, such as a general contractor, subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer. No matter how your injury happened, we’re ready to help.
Wisconsin deadlines depend on the type of claim. For workers’ compensation, you generally must give your employer actual notice within 30 days of the injury (or within 30 days after you knew or should have known your condition was work-related).
Workers’ comp claims also have longer outer limits of six years for traumatic injuries and twelve years for occupational diseases.
If you choose to file a third-party personal injury lawsuit, you typically have three years from the date of the injury to do so.
