Construction work is physically demanding and often dangerous—especially when safety rules are ignored or equipment fails. Whether you were hurt on a site in Savannah, Pooler, or Garden City, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation and, in many cases, additional compensation through a third-party personal injury claim.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injured workers, contractors, and bystanders after serious construction accidents. We know how to investigate site conditions, identify who’s responsible, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Construction Site Injuries
Most construction injuries are preventable—and often happen when someone fails to follow safety procedures.
Common causes include:
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops
- Falling tools, debris, or building materials
- Forklift, crane, or heavy machinery accidents
- Electrocution or arc flash injuries
- Caught-in or between machinery accidents
- Lack of safety equipment or site supervision
- Defective tools or unsafe equipment
We gather site records, incident reports, and witness statements to determine exactly what went wrong—and who’s liable.
Who’s Liable in a Construction Accident?
If you were injured on a job site, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. However, you might also have a third-party personal injury claim if someone other than your employer caused or contributed to the accident.
Potentially liable parties include:
- Subcontractors or site managers
- General contractors or developers
- Equipment manufacturers or rental companies
- Property owners
- Architects, engineers, or safety inspectors
We investigate every possible angle to pursue maximum compensation.
Common Construction Accident Injuries
Construction injuries are often severe and life-altering.
We represent clients suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage or paralysis
- Broken bones or crush injuries
- Burns, electrical injuries, and chemical exposure
- Internal organ damage
- Amputations or permanent disability
- Wrongful death (in fatal construction incidents)
We work with your medical team and life care planners to document your long-term needs and financial losses.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Depending on your case, you may be able to recover:
- Medical expenses and future treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering (for third-party claims)
- Long-term care or vocational retraining
- Permanent disability compensation
- Funeral and burial costs (in wrongful death cases)
We pursue every available option to secure what you and your family need.
