Construction Vehicle Accidents

Helping injured workers get the benefits they need and deserve

At any construction site, there are certain vehicles in use to help get the job done. But as with any other type of motor vehicle, an accident can leave workers with serious injuries. Injured workers are left with rising medical expenses and lost income when they are unable to return to the job. At Tabor Law Firm, P.A. an experienced workers’ compensation attorney can help injured workers get the money they rightfully deserve.

Vehicles at construction sites include dump trucks, road graders, concrete mixers, road rollers, truck cranes and skid loaders. A construction accident can happen due to operator negligence or defective equipment. A worker can be left with injuries to the head, neck or back. There may be broken bones, as well as cuts and bruises. Or the worker can suffer internal injuries, a spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury.

As a result, the injured workers may require surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy and medication. Crutches or a wheelchair may be needed, as well as home modifications, while the worker recovers. During this time, the worker is unable to return to the construction site, and loses income.
