Can I File a Personal Injury Claim for My Boise Construction Accident?

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

Construction accidents are not uncommon in Boise, and when workers get injured on the job, many victims want to know if they can recover more compensation for their damages than what workers compensation allows.

While work comp will cover most of your medical expenses and a percentage of your lost wages, that’s all it covers. In such instances, a personal injury claim can enable you to get all of the damages you are entitled to.

There are many different parties that could potentially be liable for a construction accident. A Boise construction accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can identify which parties were negligent and help you determine the best course of action to take.

If Your Employer or a Coworker Was to Blame

If your injury was caused because of the negligence of your company, then your injury will be covered by workers compensation. You should always file a workers compensation claim when you are able, as doing so will not prevent you from filing a personal injury claim later if you are eligible.

The only time that you can file a lawsuit against your employer is if they either don’t carry workers compensation insurance or if malice or egregious negligence were involved. Malice means that someone from your company intentionally caused your accident, while egregious misconduct means that the danger was known but was not addressed.

When Third Parties Are at Fault

Any time that a third party causes a construction accident, you can sue them directly. This most commonly applies to the manufacturers of faulty and defective safety equipment, tools, and machinery. In these cases, it will be necessary to prove the link between the equipment failure and what happened.

You can also file a personal injury claim against the manufacturer of a toxic chemical or substance if you get sick after being exposed. This could range from asbestos to radioactive waste.

Finally, a third party could also be anyone else on the construction site who was not employed directly by your company. This could be a contractor, a passerby, or an outside driver.

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.
