Construction Workers Injured in Accidents Can Find Certified Specialist Lawyers with Expertise in Personal Injury to Help Them Bring a Claim
Tucson construction accident attorneys are always concerned about auto accidents that occur at construction accident sites. These are becoming extremely common. Some accidents occur because of drivers' negligence. Other accidents occur because of lack of communication or possibly, the lack of proper training.
According to a recent news report, a construction worker who was directing traffic, was struck and killed by a gravel truck that was going to the same company where the 56-year-old victim was working. The accident occurred as the construction crew was working on a road project. The truck hit the worker while making a right turn. Witnesses told police that the victim was signaling to the driver to stop, but the driver hit the worker and then struck him again while backing up in response to reaction from witnesses. Officials say they believe that this incident was a "terrible accident." The victim and driver were not co-workers.
In cases where an accident occurs as a result of possible negligence on the part of a third party such as a contractor or a sub-contractor, an injured worker (or his family), in addition to filing a workers’ compensation claim, can often file a personal injury claim against the negligent parties. However, these cases are complex and involve several parties and many complex legal issues.
