PROTECTING THE LEGAL INTERESTS OF INJURED HAWAII RESIDENTS AND VISITORS SINCE 1973

Skilled Assistance For Those Injured In Construction Accidents

After a serious workplace accident, there is sometimes confusion regarding the differences between workers’ compensation and personal injury liability. Besides getting prompt medical attention and wage loss for an injured worker, it is critical that victims and their families also contact an experienced accident lawyer as soon as possible to protect their right to additional compensation.

At the law firm of Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks in Honolulu, our lawyers help employees, workers and others recover compensation for their losses from construction site accidents. We can help you if you have suffered a serious head, back or neck injury or if a loved one suffered fatal injuries due to a construction accident.

The Most Common Types Of Construction Accidents

While construction accidents are common and dangerous, some injury causes are more frequent than others. These include:

  • Falling from a defective ladder
  • Improperly erected scaffolding
  • Faulty roofing equipment
  • A mistake by a subcontractor
  • A collision with a piece of equipment

There are so many ways to get hurt on a construction site, but you do have options if you do.

Beyond Workers’ Compensation Benefits

In Hawaii, an injured worker will most likely be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits after a construction accident or a workplace injury. Beyond the workers’ compensation issues, however, is the question of whether any other entity besides the employer shares responsibility for the injury.

Manufacturers, distributors and installers of defective equipment are potential sources of compensation. Subcontractors or delivery services may be liable for injuries or loss of life resulting from a construction accident or any other workplace injury.
