accident cases are are in many ways like

any work injury except the injuries tend

to be larger and there tend to be more

legal issues at their core they’re a

workers comp or an on-the-job injury so

an employee if it’s not already seen or

known needs to report the accident but

the difference between a traditional

let’s say workers comp accident where

you got hurt because you fell or

something like that construction

accidents bring into play a lot of other

areas of law and issues so there’s often

claims that could be made against

products that injured you against the

manufacturer of certain systems if

you’re on a job site there may be claims

against other companies who were working

on the job site while you can’t sue your

own employer many times construction

accidents have all of those issues so

you need to be thinking about that and

that’s what you know an experienced

lawyer does we consider oh okay the

basic accident happened let’s first get

our client his or her

um care and make sure that they’re

getting the wage losses and everything

they need but from there you need to

analyze what caused or what may have

been the causes of the accident who is

or may have been at fault and then you

often need to do a lot of Investigation

to determine who those entities are what

their real corporate names are Etc and

typically they end up in litigation uh

with a lawsuit filed because the

injuries are particularly serious so in

many ways it’s no different than if you

you know you got hurt because you you

tripped in your office but you have the

added component of who may be at fault

who is out there to be able to provide

compensation for or your pain and

suffering all of the different changes

pavement for your wage losses those that

aren’t paid by workers comp because

workers comp doesn’t pay at all payment

for future wage losses loss of earning

capacity and all of those other things

and of course your pain and suffering

everything that happened to you and if

you’re married that impacts your spouse

from the time of the accident until the

present
