Construction work is dangerous under the best conditions, but when contractors cut corners, safety equipment fails, or job sites are mismanaged, workers can suffer serious, life-changing injuries. If you were hurt on a construction site in Myrtle Beach, Conway, or anywhere in Horry County, you may be entitled to compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injured construction workers and bystanders. We help you recover workers’ comp benefits, and pursue additional claims when third parties are responsible for your injury.
How Construction Accidents Happen
Construction sites are filled with risks, and too often, accidents happen because someone failed to follow safety procedures.
Common causes of construction site accidents include:
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or roofs
- Struck-by accidents involving falling objects
- Machinery malfunctions or equipment failure
- Trench collapses or structural failures
- Electrical injuries and arc flash burns
- Exposure to hazardous materials or chemicals
- Lack of proper training or safety oversight
We investigate the accident thoroughly and fight to hold every negligent party accountable.
Who’s Responsible for a Construction Site Injury?
Workers’ compensation usually covers job-related injuries, but when someone outside your direct employer is responsible, you may also have a third-party personal injury claim.
Potentially liable parties include:
- General contractors and subcontractors
- Equipment manufacturers or rental companies
- Property owners or developers
- Architects and engineers
- Third-party vendors or delivery drivers
We identify every available source of compensation to maximize your recovery.
Common Construction Accident Injuries
Construction accidents often cause serious, sometimes permanent injuries. We represent clients suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Amputations or crush injuries
- Burns and electrical shock injuries
- Broken bones and orthopedic damage
- Internal organ injuries
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death claims)
We work closely with medical experts, rehabilitation specialists, and life care planners to fully document your injuries.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you have a workers’ compensation or third-party injury claim, you may be eligible to recover:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and future lost income
- Pain and suffering (through third-party claims)
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Vocational retraining costs
- Funeral and burial expenses (for wrongful death claims)
We build strong cases that show the full financial and personal impact of your injuries not just what the insurance company wants to pay.
What to Do After a Construction Accident
- Report the accident to your employer or supervisor immediately
- Get medical attention even for injuries that seem minor
- Document what happened with photos and witness statements
- Avoid giving statements to insurance companies without legal advice
- Contact a construction accident lawyer to protect your rights
Waiting too long to act could jeopardize your ability to recover full compensation.
