Let Strong Law Help You Get the Compensation You Deserve
Construction work is important to the economic growth of our nation. Millions of people work in the construction industry on commercial and residential buildings, supporting their families by toiling in sometimes dangerous situations. In addition, different types of trades can work in the construction industry, from those constructing the building to electricians and cement workers.
Construction sites can be hazardous places to work. Even though steps are usually taken to limit the number of construction injuries, accidents still happen.
Being involved in a construction accident can devastate you physically, emotionally, and monetarily. If you have been injured in a construction accident, let the attorneys at Strong Law use their expertise to help with your claim. Call us at 206-737-3496 to speak to one of our construction accident lawyers.
The first thing you should do if you are injured in a construction accident is to try to remain calm. Getting overly excited may worsen your injuries and your ability to think clearly. Next, call 911. The sooner a first responder is on the scene of the accident, the better.
If you are able to do so, take pictures of the accident scene. Doing this ensures documentation of the scene as it was when the accident occurred. These pictures can probably be used to assist in determining who may be liable for your injuries.
Next, you will want to report the accident to your employer or whoever is in charge of the construction site. This is important because they will be able to assist in opening up a workers’ compensation claim for you.
When you are able, give our Everett construction injury lawyers a call. We will do all the hard work, so you can concentrate on recovering from your injuries. We can be reached at 206-737-3496.

The law in Washington State is clear: Construction workers who are injured on the job cannot sue their employer, because they are covered by The Workers’ Compensation Act. However, there are individuals and companies that may be held liable for your injuries.
If your injury involves an individual who is not your employer, you may have a third-party claim against them. Third-party claims can be helpful because they will pay compensation for losses that do not fall under Workers’ Compensation. You may be able to obtain compensation for all of your lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of future earning capacity.
Timing is important. If you have been injured in a construction accident, there is a one-year statute of limitations for a Labor & Industries (workers’ compensation) claim in Washington and a three-year statute of limitations claim for a third-party claim.
