In addition to workers compensation benefits, a worker injured on a construction site may be entitled to recovery from a third party. A third party personal injury or wrongful death case is when a party other than the individual’s employer is responsible for the worker’s injury. Often times, third party cases may be brought against general contractors, subcontractors or manufacturers of equipment.

A third party case allows an injured worker to make a recovery for damages not covered under workers compensation. Strellis & Field has lawyers and investigators fully versed in the complexities of third party construction cases. It is important that evidence is secured immediately following a construction accident to assure that injured workers get full compensation from all responsible parties.

Founding partner, Dennis Field, understands the concerns of injured workers. As a third generation ironworker, Dennis knows how severe injuries sustained on the job site can change the lives of people forever.

Strellis & Field is proud to represent many union workers involved in serious construction related injuries. We recognize that construction accidents are particularly devastating to skilled trades people and their families. In addition to medical bills, families are faced with future financial uncertainty because they are unable to return to the trade they love. All cases are handled with one goal in mind--to obtain maximum recovery for our clients and their families.

Lawyers at Strellis & Field use their contacts with experts in the fields of: construction safety, engineering, vocational rehabilitation and economics to fully develop all areas of a construction injury case.
