Construction work is vital to the growth of Spartanburg, but it’s also one of the most dangerous industries in the state. Whether you were injured building a new project near Downtown Spartanburg, working road construction on Interstate 85, or doing electrical work at a residential site, one serious injury can affect your ability to earn a living and support your family.
At Ted Law Firm, we help construction workers across Spartanburg County get the compensation they deserve. We handle both workers’ compensation claims and third-party personal injury lawsuits, depending on the circumstances of your case.
Common Construction Site Accidents in Spartanburg
Construction zones are filled with hazards. Employers, contractors, and equipment manufacturers have a legal duty to maintain a safe work environment, but when they don’t, accidents happen.
We represent workers injured by:
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding, and rooftops
- Forklift, crane, or heavy machinery accidents
- Falling tools, materials, or debris
- Electrical shocks and arc flash burns
- Trench collapses or structure failures
- Defective equipment or safety gear
- Exposure to toxic chemicals or fumes
We investigate the root cause of your accident to determine what went wrong—and who can be held responsible.
Types of Compensation Available
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
If you were injured while working, you are likely entitled to workers’ compensation, which may cover:
- Medical treatment (hospital, surgery, therapy)
- Temporary or permanent disability payments
- Lost wage replacement
- Mileage reimbursement for travel to appointments
We help injured workers file or appeal their claims and push back if benefits are unfairly denied or delayed.
Third-Party Personal Injury Claims
If your accident was caused by someone other than your employer, such as a subcontractor, property owner, or manufacturer, you may also be able to file a personal injury lawsuit for:
- Pain and suffering
- Full lost wages (not just partial replacement)
- Future medical care costs
- Emotional distress
- Punitive damages in extreme cases
We evaluate every angle of your case to determine which claim, or combination is best for your situation.
Common Injuries in Construction Accidents
Construction-related injuries often involve high-impact trauma, heavy machinery, or dangerous environments. We represent workers who’ve suffered:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and crush injuries
- Amputations or loss of limb
- Severe burns and disfigurement
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Fatal injuries requiring a wrongful death claim
We work with medical experts to understand how your injury affects your long-term recovery and future ability to work.
