Worker Killed in Construction Accident
Arizona construction accidents have the potential to cause devastating injuries that can kill or leave workers disabled for the rest of their lives. In many cases, the injured worker is the only wage-earner in a family. This often causes serious financial problems for the injured victim's family as well. That is why it is extremely important to consult with an experienced Arizona construction accident attorney who can explain all your legal options and make sure you receive fair compensation for your construction accident injuries, damages and/or loss.
One such story involved a worker who was killed in a church construction site when roof rafters fell. According to a recent news report, construction crews were setting them in place when the accident occurred. Four others were also injured in the accident, two of them seriously.
When a worker is injured in an Arizona construction accident, he or she usually receives workers compensation benefits to cover medical expenses, loss of wages and other damages. However, in cases where the worker is seriously injured, killed or left with a lifelong disability, workers compensation benefits are not sufficient to compensate the loss and damages or even pay medical bills. In some construction accidents or other workplace accidents, victims or their families may be able to file what is known as a "third-party claim." This is especially true in cases where someone other than an employer, such as a contractor or sub-contractor, could be held liable for the accident, injuries or damages – especially if their negligence caused the accident in question.
