Everett Construction Injury Lawyers
Let Strong Law Help You Get the Compensation You Deserve
Construction work is important to the economic growth of our nation. Millions of people work in the construction industry on commercial and residential buildings, supporting their families by toiling in sometimes dangerous situations. In addition, different types of trades can work in the construction industry, from those constructing the building to electricians and cement workers.
Construction sites can be hazardous places to work. Even though steps are usually taken to limit the number of construction injuries, accidents still happen.
Being involved in a construction accident can devastate you physically, emotionally, and monetarily. If you have been injured in a construction accident, let the attorneys at Strong Law use their expertise to help with your claim. Call us at 206-737-3496 to speak to one of our construction accident lawyers.
What should I do if I am involved in a construction accident?
The first thing you should do if you are injured in a construction accident is to try to remain calm. Getting overly excited may worsen your injuries and your ability to think clearly. Next, call 911. The sooner a first responder is on the scene of the accident, the better.
If you are able to do so, take pictures of the accident scene. Doing this ensures documentation of the scene as it was when the accident occurred. These pictures can probably be used to assist in determining who may be liable for your injuries.
Next, you will want to report the accident to your employer or whoever is in charge of the construction site. This is important because they will be able to assist in opening up a workers’ compensation claim for you.
When you are able, give our Everett construction injury lawyers a call. We will do all the hard work, so you can concentrate on recovering from your injuries. We can be reached at 206-737-3496.

Whom Can I Sue if I am Involved in a Construction Accident in Everett?
Who can be held responsible for my construction injuries?
The law in Washington State is clear: Construction workers who are injured on the job cannot sue their employer, because they are covered by The Workers’ Compensation Act. However, there are individuals and companies that may be held liable for your injuries.
If your injury involves an individual who is not your employer, you may have a third-party claim against them. Third-party claims can be helpful because they will pay compensation for losses that do not fall under Workers’ Compensation. You may be able to obtain compensation for all of your lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of future earning capacity.
Timing is important. If you have been injured in a construction accident, there is a one-year statute of limitations for a Labor & Industries (workers’ compensation) claim in Washington and a three-year statute of limitations claim for a third-party claim.

Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?

After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
