Construction work is demanding, and dangerous. When safety measures are ignored or equipment fails, serious injuries can happen. If you were hurt on a job site in Orangeburg, Brookdale, Bowman, or anywhere in Orangeburg County, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation, and in some cases, additional compensation through a third-party claim.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured construction workers and site visitors navigate the legal system and secure the compensation they need to recover. We fight for your rights—so you can focus on healing.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Construction sites are full of hazards, and accidents are often caused by carelessness or failure to follow safety rules.
We handle construction accident cases involving:
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops
- Being struck by falling tools, materials, or equipment
- Electrocutions or electrical burns
- Caught-in or between machinery accidents
- Crane or forklift injuries
- Trench collapses or structure failures
- Lack of safety equipment or supervision
We investigate what caused the accident, gather evidence, and hold the right parties accountable.
Who Is Responsible for a Construction Injury?
In many cases, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance will cover your injury. But in some situations, you may also be able to file a third-party personal injury claim for additional compensation.
Potentially liable third parties may include:
- Subcontractors or general contractors
- Property owners or developers
- Equipment rental companies or manufacturers
- Site engineers, architects, or safety managers
We evaluate every case for third-party liability so you don’t miss out on any available compensation.
Serious Injuries We Handle
Construction injuries are often severe and require long-term care. We represent clients suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and crush injuries
- Burns and chemical exposure
- Amputations
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Fatal accidents (wrongful death claims)
We work with your doctors and medical experts to assess the full impact of your injury, and make sure your case reflects every dollar you’ll need to recover.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and rehabilitation expenses
- Lost wages and reduced future earnings
- Pain and suffering (in third-party cases)
- Long-term disability or disfigurement
- Vocational retraining
- Funeral and burial costs (for fatal incidents)
We pursue both workers’ comp and third-party damages to get you the best possible outcome.
