Construction Accident Lawyer in Delaware | The Inkell Firm, LLC

Construction sites are inherently dangerous, with heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and the potential for falls or other serious accidents. While construction workers are most often the victims, accidents at construction sites can also affect pedestrians, motorists, and nearby residents. If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident due to negligence, The Inkell Firm, LLC is here to help you pursue compensation outside of the worker’s compensation system.

Led by experienced attorney Josh Inkell, our firm represents individuals who have been seriously injured due to the negligence of third parties in construction accidents. We understand the complexities of construction accident cases, and we work tirelessly to hold responsible parties accountable.

Common Causes of Construction Accidents

Construction accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, often due to negligence on the part of property owners, contractors, equipment manufacturers, or other third parties. Some common causes of construction accidents include:

• Falls from heights: Faulty scaffolding, ladders, or unprotected edges can lead to serious fall injuries.
• Falling objects: Construction tools, debris, or materials that are not properly secured can strike individuals, causing severe injuries.
• Crane and machinery accidents: Improperly operated or maintained heavy machinery can cause life-threatening injuries.
• Electrocution: Contact with live wires or electrical systems on construction sites can lead to severe burns or death.
• Explosions and fires: Faulty gas lines, improper handling of hazardous materials, or lack of safety precautions can result in devastating accidents.
• Slips, trips, and falls: Poorly maintained walkways, exposed cables, or debris can lead to dangerous slip and fall accidents.

Third-Party Liability in Construction Accidents

While worker’s compensation provides benefits for injured workers, it does not cover pain and suffering or hold third parties responsible for their negligence. In many construction accident cases, third parties may be liable for the injuries sustained, including:

• Property owners who fail to maintain safe conditions
• General contractors or subcontractors who violate safety standards
• Equipment manufacturers whose defective machinery or tools lead to injuries
• Architects or engineers responsible for faulty designs or unsafe site conditions

By pursuing a personal injury claim against a negligent third party, you may be entitled to compensation beyond what is available through worker’s compensation, including compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages.

Injuries Resulting from Construction Accidents

Construction accidents often result in serious or even catastrophic injuries. Some of the most common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and fractures
• Severe burns
• Crush injuries
• Amputations
• Internal injuries
• Death (wrongful death claims)

Compensation for Construction Accident Victims

If you have been injured in a construction accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses: Including current and future treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy.
• Lost wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to your injury.
• Loss of earning capacity: If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job or affects your future earning potential.
• Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical and emotional distress caused by your injury.
• Disability or disfigurement: Compensation for long-term or permanent injuries that affect your quality of life.
• Wrongful death: If a loved one has died in a construction accident, you may pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional suffering.
