Construction accident cases involve injuries sustained by individuals working on construction sites due to various hazards or negligence. Injured workers have the option to seek compensation through workers’ compensation benefits, which provide coverage for medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault.
Alternatively, they may pursue a personal injury claim to seek compensation for additional damages, such as pain and suffering. A skilled construction accident attorney can assess the circumstances of your case, determine the best course of action, and advocate for your rights to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
To minimize the risk of construction accidents, workers and managers must follow the Occupational Safety and Health Act. This law requires employers to enforce federal safety standards and provide training to minimize the risk of construction accidents. Our construction accident attorneys can provide guidance about OSHA workplace requirements.

NST Law’s workplace injury lawyers offer injured construction workers legal help for construction workers and their families. Our services include:
Construction accidents can cause injuries ranging from mild to severe. Construction accident and injury types we commonly see include:
If you are suing for personal injury damages, you must normally prove the responsible party’s negligence to receive compensation for your injuries. In other words, you must prove that the defendant’s failure to take reasonable precautions to prevent harm to workers led to an accident that caused financial, physical, or emotional harm.
However, if you are seeking workers’ compensation, you do not have to prove negligence. Mandated through the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Law, workers’ compensation is no-fault insurance, which means you do not need to prove who is at fault in order to collect benefits. Workers’ compensation insurance is paid for by employers. Employers have to procure workers’ compensation themselves and face legal consequences when they do not.
No matter which route you take, our construction accident attorneys know how to gather the evidence needed to substantiate your case. Important evidence in construction accident cases may include:
Construction accident victims and their families are eligible to receive various forms of compensation. In construction accident lawsuits, this may include:
Again, construction accident victims may also be eligible to receive workers’ compensation when they cannot work due to an employment-related injury, such as an illness resulting from exposure to dangerous chemicals. Any injury, occupational illness, and work-related death is covered if it arises within the scope and course of employment.
Workers’ compensation is typically paid quickly, while personal injury claims can take a while to process. As explained by the Mississippi Worker’s Compensation Commission, “An injured worker is entitled to whatever reasonable and necessary medical services are required to treat the injury and achieve maximum cure.” They may also receive two-thirds of their average weekly wage while they recover from their injuries.

In workers’ compensation, fault is not a factor, and benefits are provided regardless of who caused the injury. Compensation typically covers medical expenses and lost wages but does not include damages for pain and suffering. Employees generally cannot sue their employers for negligence if covered by workers’ compensation, but they may be able to sue a third party in a personal injury lawsuit to seek additional damages.
In personal injury lawsuits, plaintiffs must prove negligence by a preponderance of the evidence and can seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Workers’ compensation claims are typically processed faster, while personal injury lawsuits can be more time-consuming due to legal proceedings.
