Construction Accident Attorneys in New Orleans
Tort, When It’s More Than A Workers’ Comp Case
Construction workers face some of the most dangerous working conditions of any industry. Construction work is physically demanding and can be dangerous. Serious injuries can occur during both larger commercial development projects and smaller projects for individual homeowners; despite regulations, routine inspections, and work safety programs construction accidents happen.
Minor construction injuries without long-term impairments may receive fair compensation through a workers’ compensation claim. However some injuries, justify a tort lawsuit. Many construction accidents can have a devastating impact on construction workers’ ability to meet ongoing job demands. Even relatively minor injuries that seemingly heal, can create limitations for future work ability due to the physical necessities of the job. Healed injuries may become safety hazards for construction workers.
