How We Help Construction Accident Victims

In addition to workers’ compensation benefits, injured construction workers have the right to pursue a third-party personal injury claim when someone other than their employer contributed to the accident. 

This can include negligent subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, or other vendors on the job site. Unlike workers’ compensation, a third-party claim allows recovery for the full scope of damages, including pain and suffering and loss of future earning capacity.

Whether you are a construction worker or another injured party, we carefully evaluate the workplace accident to identify potential third-party liability. By pursuing all available avenues of recovery, injured workers are not limited to the partial benefits available through workers’ compensation alone, while other injured individuals also have access to full injury awards. 

Understanding Your Options: Workers’ Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims

After a construction injury, many people assume workers’ compensation is the only path forward. While workers’ comp can provide important benefits, it may not cover the full impact of a serious accident—especially when someone other than your direct employer played a role. Kenney & Conley helps injured construction workers in Braintree and across the South Shore identify every available source of recovery and choose the strategy that protects their long-term interests.

When Workers’ Compensation May Apply

In many cases, workers’ compensation can help with:

• Medical treatment related to the work injury
• A portion of lost wages while you’re out of work
• Ongoing benefits for lasting impairment (in some cases)

However, workers’ comp typically does not pay for pain and suffering, and wage replacement is often only partial.

When a Third-Party Claim May Increase Your Recovery

If another company or negligent party contributed to the accident, you may be able to pursue a separate injury claim in addition to workers’ comp. Third-party liability is common on busy job sites involving multiple contractors, vendors, and equipment.

Potential third-party cases may involve:

• Unsafe property conditions (e.g., hazardous walkways, poor lighting, unprotected edges)
• Defective tools, machinery, or safety equipment (product liability)
• Negligence by subcontractors or other trades working on-site
• Motor vehicle incidents involving delivery trucks or work vehicles

Types of Damages That May be Available in a Third-Party Case

Depending on the facts, a third-party claim may allow compensation for losses that workers’ comp usually doesn’t address, such as:

• Full loss of income and reduced future earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
• Out-of-pocket expenses and long-term care needs
• Scarring, disfigurement, or permanent disability impacts

If you’re unsure who is responsible, that’s normal. Construction accident investigations often require quick action to preserve evidence, identify all responsible parties, and protect your rights. Our team can review the circumstances of your injury and explain which claims may be available—clearly and honestly—so you can make informed decisions.
