Working in construction involves daily risks. The nature of the work, such as working at great heights, handling heavy materials and using machinery, makes the chance of an accident relatively large. If you have been a victim of a construction accident, you often have a right to compensation. At Arslan Lawyers, we help you to recover this compensation and ensure a meticulous legal approach.
What to do after an accident in construction?
Have you been a victim of an accident in construction? Follow these steps:
- Provide evidence: Ask colleagues to describe what happened and take pictures of the situation if possible.
- Report the accident to your employer: The employer is obliged to report serious industrial accidents to the Labour Inspection.
- Hold your employer liable: Our lawyers can do this for you, so your employer can involve his insurer.
- Engage legal help: We help you claim your full compensation.
Common causes of construction accidents
The construction sector has a wide range of risky situations. Common causes of accidents include:
- Falling from platforms, scaffolding or ladders.
- Falling objects, such as materials or tools.
- Collapse of cranes or construction structures.
- Tripping over obstacles, such as holes in floors.
- Accidents with machines, such as saws or drills.
These accidents can lead to serious injury, such as fractures, amputations or permanent restrictions.
Hold the employer liable
According to the law, the employer is responsible for providing a safe working environment. If this duty of care is violated, you can hold your employer liable. The practice shows that employers are almost always well insured for industrial accidents. Holding your employer liable is therefore a legitimate step and seldom leads to problems or tensions.
How high is your compensation?
The amount of your compensation depends on various factors, such as the severity of your injury, loss of income and any extra costs (such as medical treatments). At Arslan Lawyers, we calculate exactly what your loss is and ensure you get what you are entitled to.
