Construction accidents can cause confusion for the victim and the victim’s family.

Common Construction Accidents

Our attorneys represent clients who have been injured in a variety of accidents on construction sites, and the family members of fatal accident/wrongful death victims:

• Falls from scaffolding
• Falls from ladders
• Being struck by heavy objects
• Falling objects
• OSHA violations
• Forklift and crane accidents
• Equipment malfunctions

Third-Party Liability In Construction Accidents

In a construction accident claim, you are often barred from suing your employer under workers’ compensation laws. However, you are often able to recover damages from negligent third parties. For instance, negligent or careless general contractors can be legally held responsible for damages. For example, if a plumbing contractor is injured by a roofing contractor, the plumbing contractor most likely cannot sue his employer but can sue the roofing company.

Case Examples

Personal injury lawyer Robert Solomon has successfully recovered damages in construction accident cases, including:

Our client was a dock builder who, while setting a foundation and pouring cement, was buried in a cave-in caused by another company that was driving piles nearby. Our client suffered a broken leg and shoulder. We sued the company that caused the cave-in, and won a $1.5 million award for our client and his family.

Our client was injured on the job while working on a dock on the pier. A ferryboat entered the terminal at a speed higher than the posted maximum and struck the pier. Our client injured his arm, and we sued the owner of the ferry, achieving a $500,000 resolution for our client.

Our client’s husband was severely burned when a pipeline he was welding at a terminal port exploded. He later died. On behalf of our client, we sued the company that owned the pipeline. Our client will receive $2.5 million over 30 years.

Each case is unique, and results will vary depending on the facts of each case.

Have you been involved in a collision with a commercial truck in Albuquerque? Your injuries demand justice and compensation. Here to see you get exactly that is an Albuquerque semi-truck crash attorneywith Will Ferguson & Associates.

If a truck driver has injured you, you may be contemplating whether to file a claim for compensation. If you’ve been hurt and you have damages, you’re likely eligible for compensation. Negligent truckers and trucking companies should be held accountable when they’ve caused other people’s injuries.

Your injuries may be serious. You could be dealing with huge financial losses. You may be overwhelmed by physical pain and stress following your accident. At the end of the day, you deserve justice in the form of monetary compensation for all you’ve been put through because of another person’s careless or reckless actions.

Filing and winning a personal injury case isn’t easy, though. It requires a deep knowledge of New Mexico’s negligence laws, and you’ll need investigation skills so the cause of your accident and fault can be proven. Fortunately, you can get the legal help you need by working with an Albuquerque truck accident lawyer at our firm.

Determining Fault in ABQ 18-Wheeler Wrecks

When you’ve been hurt in a truck crash, the reason you’re able to sue a negligent party for damages is because of the legal concept of negligence. When someone’s careless actions cause you to be injured, they can be held legally responsible for your damages.

For instance, if you were sideswiped by a semi-truck, you can sue the trucker and sometimes the trucking company to receive compensation for your resulting damages.

In New Mexico, even if you are found somewhat responsible for your injuries, you can still file a claim against other involved parties for the role that they played in your big rig collision. In some cases, multiple parties could be to blame for your accident.

This is especially true with trucking accidents because of the commercial aspect of transportation services. A trucking company will often be liable for the actions of its drivers.

To give you an idea of when you can pursue compensation even if you were partially to blame for the accident, let’s look at an example. Let’s say you were driving when a semi-truck crashed into you. You are assigned 20 percent of the blame for the accident because you were eating while driving, and the trucker is assigned 80 percent of the blame because of drowsy driving.

You can still file your claim against the trucker and possibly the trucking company, but your damages will be reduced by 20 percent because of your part of the blame. This concept is known as comparative negligence.
