Each experienced Chicago personal injury lawyer at Hoey & Farina provides legal representation for persons, or their surviving family members, who have suffered a serious injury or wrongful death at work or as a result of construction accident.
Contractors and site owners are responsible for providing a reasonably safe work / construction site environment. When a worker or person suffers a serious injury or wrongful death at or near a construction site, the owner or general contractor, subcontractor or even the architect may be liable for personal injuries sustained.
Even a third party, such as the manufacturer of equipment which may have broke or failed, contributing to the construction accident, may be liable. The accident needs to be immediately investigated a personal injury lawyer at Hoey & Farina, working to protect your rights.
You will have large medical bills and lost wages from being off of work for long periods of time while disabled. If it is a work accident, workers’ compensation may pay for some of the medical bills and lost wages, but workers' compensation cannot adequately compensate you for permanent injuries and disability from a construction accident.
Our team of construction accident attorneys, investigators, paralegals and legal assistants will protect your worker's rights, provide you with compassionate client service throughout your construction accident claim and obtain for you the results you deserve.
The window for filing a FRSA complaint with OSHA's Whistleblower Protection Directorate is only 180 days. That means railroad workers only have 180 days to file from the date the worker knew or should have known the railroad decided to take an adverse action against them.
If you believe a railroad has retaliated against you for reporting an injury, reporting an unsafe condition, or for following the treatment plan of your doctor ("protected activities"), contact us as soon as possible so we can determine if you have a FRSA claim and if so how best to protect your rights.
