Construction workers must contend with many hazards, such as heavy machinery, scaffolding, trenches, and other occupational dangers. Exposure to the elements can lead to serious conditions such as heat stroke, dehydration, or even chronic illness.

Working behind the scenes may be a construction company, site manager, multiple supervisors, electricians, trade workers and many other parties. Any of these entities could be responsible for your injury after a major construction site accident. A few parties are most commonly responsible for construction injuries in Tampa.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The construction company.<\/strong> The construction company could be liable if it or one of its workers caused the injuries. Like all employers, construction companies are vicariously liable for the actions of their employees. The only exception would be if an independently contracted person at the site caused the accident, in which case the individual may be liable.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>An individual.<\/strong> If a subcontractor, independent contractor, violent criminal, third-party driver or another individual caused your injuries, you may be able to hold that person independently liable for your damages. Holding a company responsible, however, could increase your chances of a fair payout.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Product manufacturer.<\/strong> Defective and dangerous products often cause accidents in the construction industry. A defective crane, for example, could buckle and collapse, causing catastrophic injuries. Manufacturers or distributors may be responsible for injuries or deaths involving their defective products.<\/p>\n\n<p>Assigning responsibility for your construction accident injury may take help from an attorney.

Florida has a workers' compensation program to protect employees who sustain injury on the job. This program is a no-fault system in which you can collect benefits while you're recovering from a work-related injury. Since the system is no-fault, you won't have to prove your employer was negligent before collecting benefits. In exchange for this, however, you forfeit your right to sue your employer for additional damages.<\/p>\n\n<p>Florida law requires all employers carry workers' compensation insurance to cover injuries their employees may suffer on the job. To collect your benefits, follow a few simple steps:<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:22px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Report_a_Construction_Injury_as_Soon_as_Possible\"><\/span>1. Report a Construction Injury as Soon as Possible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While you have up to 30 days to report the incident to your supervisor, it's best to let him or her know as soon as you experience symptoms. Waiting to file for benefits may cause your employer to question the veracity of your claims. On the other hand, some injuries take days to fully manifest, so act as soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:22px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Seek_the_Appropriate_Medical_Care\"><\/span>2. Seek the Appropriate Medical Care<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you report your injuries, it's your supervisor's responsibility to file a claim with the workers' compensation insurance company. However, it's your job to find proper medical care. Ask if company policy is to see an in-network provider or if you can follow up with your PCP. Either way, it's important to seek appropriate medical care as soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:22px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Keep_All_Your_Recommended_Doctors_Appointments\"><\/span>3. Keep All Your Recommended Doctor's Appointments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you're not following recommended care, the insurance company (or your employer) might not think your injuries are as serious as they are.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:22px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_After_Your_Claim_Is_Approved\"><\/span>What Happens After Your Claim Is Approved?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once approved, your workers' compensation claim will pay for a portion of your salary and all approved medical bills. Your wage benefit amount will depend on your company's policy, but it's usually around 2\/3 of your previous salary. You will continue to receive benefits until you're able to return to work.<\/p>\n\n<p>One of the main advantages of the workers' compensation system is that it's no-fault. In other words, you won't have to prove your employer was negligent to collect benefits. On the other hand, accepting workers' compensation benefits forfeits your ability to pursue a personal injury claim against the company -- even if their negligence led to your injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:clamp(17.905px, 1.119rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.052), 28px);\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Options_for_Compensation\"><\/span>Other Options for Compensation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"fiol-section-content\">\n<p>Unfortunately, the workers' compensation program rarely provides enough benefits on which to live. Chances are, you'll only receive a portion of your previous salary. For this reason, many injured construction workers look for additional avenues for legal recourse.<\/p>\n\n<p>In certain situations, you may be able to bring a separate claim against other companies to compensate for damages. The construction industry is unique in that you often work with multiple companies at once. For example, you might be working with other contractors, subcontractors, and vendors at the same time. If an employee of another company acted negligently and that led to your injury, you may be able to <strong>pursue an additional claim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>If this applies, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. Examples of when this might apply include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>A vendor negligently installing scaffolding<\/li>\n<li>A subcontractor digging a trench leading to hazardous waste leaks<\/li>\n<li>An onsite truck driver acting recklessly<\/li>\n<li>A roofing subcontractor negligently installing roofing material<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:clamp(17.905px, 1.119rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.052), 28px);\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Rights_of_Injured_Construction_Workers_in_Florida\"><\/span>Legal Rights of Injured Construction Workers in Florida<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"fiol-section-content\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:22px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Can_You_Sue_After_a_Construction_Accident\"><\/span>Who Can You Sue After a Construction Accident?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even if you are receiving workers' compensation benefits, you may have additional legal claims against third parties. Potential defendants include general contractors who are not your direct employer, subcontractors whose negligence caused or contributed to the accident, property owners who failed to maintain safe conditions, equipment manufacturers whose defective products caused injuries, architects and engineers whose flawed designs created hazards, and safety consultants who failed to identify risks.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:22px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filing_Deadlines_for_Construction_Accident_Claims\"><\/span>Filing Deadlines for Construction Accident Claims<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For workers' compensation, you must report your injury within 30 days.

Wrongful death claims must also be filed within two years. Missing these deadlines can permanently eliminate your right to compensation.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#153E50;font-size:22px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Are_Construction_Injury_Settlements_Structured\"><\/span>How Are Construction Injury Settlements Structured?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your claim involves both workers' comp and a third-party lawsuit, the workers' comp insurer holds a lien on your third-party recovery under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=440.39&URL=0440-0449\/0440\/Sections\/0440.39.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">F.S. &sect;440.39<\/a>.

While workers' compensation covers most employer-related injuries, Florida law allows you to file a separate personal injury claim against third parties such as subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or vendors whose negligence caused your accident. Call Fiol &amp; Morros at (813) 223-6773 for a free consultation.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-940002\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the most common causes of construction accidents in Tampa?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The most common causes include falls from scaffolding or ladders, being struck by falling objects, electrocutions, crane or equipment collapses, trench cave-ins, and exposure to hazardous substances. OSHA identifies these as the Fatal Four responsible for the majority of construction worker deaths.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-940003\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What compensation can I recover after a construction accident in Florida?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Beyond workers' compensation, a successful claim may recover medical expenses, full lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and wrongful death damages for surviving families.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-940004\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should I accept workers' compensation or file a personal injury lawsuit?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on who caused your injury. If a third party contributed to your accident, you may file a personal injury lawsuit on top of your workers' comp claim. Contact Fiol &amp; Morros for a free case review.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-940005\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long do I have to file a construction accident claim in Florida?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For workers' compensation, report within 30 days. For a personal injury lawsuit, you have two years from the date of the accident. Call Fiol &amp; Morros at (813) 223-6773 today.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-940006\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can a pedestrian or bystander injured near a Tampa construction site file a claim?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.

Prior violations strengthen your case significantly.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-940009\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I file a construction accident claim if I am an undocumented worker?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.
