> If you’ve sustained a serious back injury, you might not have to settle for what workers comp pays. Find out if you have additional options for compensation by speaking with a Boise construction accident spine injury lawyer.

Back injuries can lead to intense pain, inhibited mobility, and even paralysis. Unfortunately, they happen all too often on construction sites . If you were hurt in an accident that resulted in spinal damage, you should call our office to speak with a Boise construction accident spine injury lawyer.

Your employer probably won’t tell you this, but you might qualify for more money than what’s offered by workers compensation. Each case is different, making it necessary to go over what happened with an attorney.

What Your Employer Knew or Did Could Be Used Against Them

Laws are in place to protect employers from being sued for workplace injuries . This means that in order to sue your employer, a special set of circumstances must exist. They would need to have known that they were putting you into a dangerous situation or be particularly negligent through their actions or inaction.

For example, if you suffered a back injury after your employer had been warned by OSHA to stop a certain behavior, they could be found negligent. If they failed to provide adequate safety training or gear, they could also be responsible.

In other words, your employer’s job is to provide a safe work environment, and your job is to perform your duties in a safe manner. When an employer knowingly puts their employees at risk, they can be sued.

Proving this requires evidence. To gather it, we will need to review the accident report you initially filed in addition to any notes you have. We will also perform the following tasks:

Suing a Third-Party in a Construction Accident

It is possible for a third party to be held responsible for your back injury. This happens most frequently with manufacturers of machinery, safety gear, and other equipment, as well as with outside contractors.

When on the job, you expect everything you use to keep you safe so that you can focus on actually working. You expect machines to function in a certain way. If anything goes wrong, it can lead to a devastating accident and back injury—something the manufacturer would then be responsible for.

We have also handled cases where other people and outside companies are to blame for actions taken near you at the time of the accident. Someone making deliveries, for example, may have acted negligently.

Money for Your Spinal Damage

You deserve to be compensated after suffering a back injury at work. This is especially true if you have suffered paralysis of any kind. Your life will be significantly altered, and workers compensation insurance is unlikely to be enough to care for you and your family. This makes it important to file a personal injury claim, when possible.

You could receive money to pay for your current and future financial damages and non-economic losses:

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
