Construction Worker Accidents | Southern Illinois Construction Injury Attorney
Employers and property owners are obligated to ensure construction workers have safe work environments. When dangers can't be eliminated, employers and property owners are required to adequately warn workers of dangerous conditions.
At Kirkpatrick Law Offices P.C., in Swansea, Illinois, our firm is squarely on the side of workers. We work to get compensation for the construction workers and other employees we represent.
While some law firms pursue only workers' compensation claims, we also aggressively pursue compensation from negligent "third parties," including property owners, contractors and subcontractors that may be responsible for your injuries and damages. The result is that we try to get you the greatest possible award, no matter the circumstances behind your work injury.
For more information or to discuss your situation with a lawyer who cares about the welfare of Illinois workers, contact us online or by calling 618-207-4689 or 877-643-9060 toll free.
