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. The regular use of expert witnesses
in construction injury cases is just one more step our firm takes
to maximize the recovery for our injured clients.
Currently, our firm is representing a skilled union
worker who had his arm severed by a concrete saw blade that came
loose on a road construction job-site. Strellis & Field is prosecuting
this claim both on a negligence theory against the general contractor
and on a products liability theory against the saw manufacturer.
