Construction zones are inherently dangerous, but when safety measures are ignored or equipment fails, workers can suffer devastating injuries. If you were hurt on a construction site in Charleston, you may be entitled to compensation beyond basic workers’ compensation benefits.
At Ted Law Firm, our Charleston construction accident lawyers fight for injured workers and their families. We help clients explore every available option, including third-party personal injury claims, to secure the maximum compensation they deserve.
We Handle All Types of Construction Injury Cases
Our firm represents individuals injured in accidents involving:
- Scaffolding and ladder falls
- Electrical shocks and arc flashes
- Heavy machinery and equipment malfunctions
- Falling tools or building materials
- Forklift or crane accidents
- Trench collapses
- Fire and explosion injuries
- OSHA safety violations
We also assist family members with wrongful death claims following fatal job site accidents.
Who Is Liable for a Construction Accident?
While workers’ compensation covers medical bills and lost wages, it does not allow lawsuits against your employer. However, third parties may be held legally responsible, including:
- Subcontractors or site supervisors
- Equipment manufacturers or rental companies
- Property owners or developers
- Safety inspectors or engineers
If any of these parties contributed to your accident, we’ll pursue a personal injury claim on your behalf potentially resulting in much higher compensation than workers’ comp alone.
What You May Be Entitled To
In addition to workers’ compensation benefits, a third-party lawsuit may allow you to recover:
- Full medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost income and future earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
Our attorneys carefully investigate every detail of your case and consult with industry and medical team to determine the full impact of your injuries.
