Do you need legal help?
AMAZING! I highly recommend this group. We had quite an unusual case, this group was our only glimmer of hope when our options were limited and no one would accept a complicated case. We worked closely with Colin O’Malley and his team. Words cannot do justice to how wonderful they are; highly competent, professional, very responsive, thorough and friendly. Colin went above and beyond to make himself available and to answer all our questions and concerns. If you need an excellent proficient injury lawyer that would fight for you, look no further!

I had the pleasure of working with attorney Tom Grace on my deceased father’s personal injury case.Tom was very prompt in all of his communications, he never left us guessing what was going on or where we were in the process, he offered up his honest opinion when it was decision making time and lastly he ensured this case wasn’t dragged out.I would highly appreciate his customer service and would absolutely recommend Tom Grace and the Chute, O’Malley, Knobloch & Turcy team.

The Consequences of Construction Accidents
Getting hurt in a construction accident can impact your life in a number of ways, including physically and financially. You might suffer serious injuries such as broken or fractured bones, superficial injuries like cuts and lacerations, or lifelong injuries such as traumatic brain damage and disfigurement or paralysis. We also represent cases if you are here because you lost a loved one in a construction accident. All of these things can change someone’s life forever. The type of medical care needed for survivors of construction accidents can be expensive and extensive. This can leave you with an inability to live your life like you did before the accident.
Our Naperville construction accident lawyers know that you can ask your employer to cover your injuries through their workers’ compensation insurance but sometimes this insurance is not always going to cover all of the medical expenses and losses that you have faced because of this construction accident. On top of receiving insurance compensation, you should also explore the option of a third-party lawsuit because, in some cases, you can pursue that avenue of relief. A third-party construction accident claim can cover your medical bills and lost wages, as well as your pain and suffering.
With a construction accident case in which you were filing against a third-party in a civil lawsuit, you are seeking two types of damages: economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are all of the ways that you lost money or you spent money related to your injuries from the construction accident. This is easily calculable. Non-economic damages are harder to calculate because they relate to how your life has been impacted because of the construction accident, including anxiety and pain that you will suffer or have suffered because of the accident.

The Liable Party in a Construction Accident
OSHA put into place regulations and rules that are meant to keep everyone on a construction site safe. This is federally regulated and all employers are supposed to keep up-to-date and mitigate risks because of these OSHA regulations. When there are OSHA violations happening on a construction site, everyone at that site is at the risk of getting harmed. Also, that employer is liable for anyone’s harm and while that person could go through the workers’ compensation insurance that the employer has, the employer can also get into big trouble for violating OSHA regulations.
It is not your job to make sure that your employer gives you the proper training and equipment and protective wear to keep you safe. It is their job to educate you and outfit you to make sure that you can perform your duties in a safe and effective way. If you have been hurt on a construction site and gone through workers’ compensation to get your damages covered but it doesn’t cover everything, we urge you to reach out to our Naperville construction accident lawyers as soon as you possibly can so that we can bring you results that are fair.
Please bring your questions to us right away so that we can set up your free, first consultation. We will sit down and go over the details of your accident as well as the details of your construction site to let you know what your options are for getting full and fair justice.
Construction Accident Wrongful Death Cases
We often hear from loved ones of a construction site worker who died because of an accident that happened at work. It is terrible to see these cases happen because these accidents are entirely avoidable. Because of the avoidable nature of these accidents, we look to see who the liable party is that caused you to lose a family member or loved one. This carelessness or negligence should not be left unaddressed. We know that money will not return your loved one but it will help you deal with the loss financially.
If you lost a loved one during a construction accident and you wish to file a wrongful death claim, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us to see what we can do for you. We will hold the liable party accountable and ensure that the compensation covers any medical bills that your loved one incurred because of their accident, the costs for the funeral and burial services, any earnings or benefits that your loved one would’ve provided for you and your family had they not died in this tragic untimely manner, and the mental anguish and pain and suffering that your family has had to endure because of the loss.

Causes of Construction Accidents
You likely know that on every given construction site there is a ton of machinery, equipment, and materials that can make the workplace a dangerous place to be. These hazards and accidents can be mitigated if your employer adheres to the proper training, outfitting, and regulations. Even when you believe that you are doing the best you can in the scenario, however, you might be a victim of negligence. These accidents can happen because of objects falling or you falling from a height as well as auto accidents, electric shock, scaffolding problems, defective products and slip and falls. There are so many ways that someone can get seriously hurt in a construction site. We have handled cases with many different causes. The goal is the same either way; we want you to receive justice.
As Naperville construction accident lawyers, we see a lot of the most serious injuries happen because of falls or objects falling and crushing someone. With construction, there are often heights involved, which can result in serious and often permanent injuries for the victims. We want to hear from you right away if this is what you’re experiencing.
Along with the hazards of machinery and equipment and materials, you also have the added danger of working with electricity or chemicals that can easily catch fire or explode on the site, causing even worse injuries. Construction areas often work with live wires or gas lines and the accidents involving those can be deadly and life-threatening. When chemicals and flammable materials are not properly stored or properly used, then the damages and injuries can be devastating. Not only is there damage because of an initial explosion, there’s also injuries because of the debris that goes ricocheting.
We have handled cases in which a construction worker has suffered an injury from electric shock or has been electrocuted and the family is looking for wrongful death compensation. Almost every construction site at some point of the job involves working with wires and live wires, and without the proper training or with the presence of carelessness, people can die. Burns are also a common injury that we see with people on construction accident sites because of this.
Lastly, we understand that at any given job you can trip over something and get hurt. Slip and falls don’t always come across as the most severe type of injuries but when you slip and fall on a construction site, this can often lead to falling from heights or even falling onto equipment that you should not be near. These injuries can be devastating as well.
