Construction work is tough, and dangerous. When safety rules are ignored or equipment fails, the consequences can be devastating. If you were injured on a job site in North Augusta, Aiken, or Edgefield County, you may be entitled to compensation through workers’ comp or a personal injury claim.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured construction workers and bystanders recover the money they need for medical care, lost income, and long-term recovery. We know how to investigate these complex cases, and we’re here to protect your rights.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction accidents are often the result of negligence whether by a contractor, equipment provider, or job site supervisor.
We handle cases involving:
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops
- Being struck by falling tools, debris, or machinery
- Equipment malfunctions or operator errors
- Electrocution or arc flash injuries
- Caught-in or between accidents
- Exposure to toxic chemicals or dust
- Lack of protective equipment or site supervision
We investigate what happened, gather the evidence, and fight to hold all responsible parties accountable.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
You may have a workers’ compensation claim through your employer. But in many cases, you may also have a third-party claim meaning someone other than your employer caused your injuries.
Potentially liable parties include:
- Subcontractors or other trades on site
- General contractors or site supervisors
- Equipment manufacturers or rental companies
- Property owners or developers
- Safety inspection companies or engineers
We’ll identify every available source of compensation to make sure your claim covers everything you’re owed.
Serious Injuries We Handle
Construction injuries are often catastrophic. We represent workers suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage or paralysis
- Crushed limbs or amputations
- Broken bones or orthopedic damage
- Burns, chemical exposure, or electrical injuries
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death claims)
We work with your medical team and specialists to calculate the long-term impact, and build a case that reflects the true cost of your injuries.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Depending on your case, you may be able to recover:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
- Temporary or permanent wage replacement
- Pain and suffering (in third-party claims)
- Long-term disability or vocational retraining
- Home modifications or assistive devices
- Funeral and burial costs (for fatal accidents)
We pursue both workers’ comp benefits and personal injury settlements when possible, so no source of compensation is overlooked.
