Burns from Construction Site Accidents and Explosions

Construction sites are among the most dangerous work environments. Every day, construction workers work with dangerous equipment, often among subcontractors who don’t always have the training they need. If you have been burned or severely shocked while working on a construction site, you may be entitled to recover more than just workers’ compensation benefits. We can assess whether a third party may share additional liability for your injuries and losses.

We also work with other attorneys on a professional referral basis

Frequently Asked Questions

After a burn injury, seek medical attention right away. Document your injuries, take photos, and keep records of any medical treatments. It’s also crucial to avoid discussing the incident with insurance companies until you’ve consulted with a lawyer.

A burn injury lawyer can help you understand your legal rights, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court to ensure you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Compensation may cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages if the injury resulted from extreme negligence or intentional harm.

Potentially responsible parties include employers, product manufacturers, property owners, or other individuals whose negligence or misconduct caused the injury. A lawyer can help identify the liable parties and build a case.

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including burn injuries, is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, certain exceptions may apply, so it’s important to consult a lawyer as soon as possible.
