Construction sites are inherently dangerous environments, and accidents can lead to serious, life-altering injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident in Lafayette, Louisiana, the experienced construction accident lawyers at Brandt & Sherman are here to help. We understand the complexities of construction accident claims and will fight to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve under Louisiana law.
In many construction accident cases, injured workers are eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Workers' compensation provides benefits for medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. However, workers' compensation benefits may not cover the full extent of your losses, such as pain and suffering.
In some situations, you may be able to pursue a third-party claim in addition to workers' compensation. A third-party claim allows you to seek compensation from parties other than your employer, such as negligent subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners. Third-party claims can provide additional compensation for damages not covered by workers' compensation, such as pain and suffering and punitive damages.
At Brandt & Sherman, we will explore all legal avenues to maximize your compensation, including both workers' compensation and third-party claims.
