Construction Site Accident Claims

Our Approach

Construction sites can be dangerous, particularly if all necessary safety rules and procedures are not followed.

Our team of specialist lawyers are able to help people who have been injured on construction sites to claim much needed compensation. We offer ‘no win, no fee’ agreements and support our clients throughout their claim to get the best possible package of care and treatment in place.

Types of claims we can assist with include injuries caused by:

Falls – such as from a high height or into a shaft;
Falling objects;
Faulty machinery or other equipment – these can include issues such as crush injuries or electrocution;
Inadequate safety regimes – these can include harness failures or failures to provide safety information;
Spillage of harmful chemicals.

A strong team ethic shines through at Kingsley Napley and there is ready support from across the whole team, whose assistance is always quick, accurate and reassuring.

Our Expertise

Expert construction site accident lawyers

It is important to instruct to instruct a specialist lawyer who has experience with construction site claims.

These types of claims can be complicated, particularly as there can be a variety of people or organisations that are responsible for the safety of a construction site – such as the site owners, the site manager and those overseeing the construction regulations for the site. There can be other bodies responsible for particular pieces of machinery. We are experienced in identifying the correct defendant or defendants, dealing with insurers and obtaining early admissions of liability.

We seek to obtain an early interim payment wherever possible to enable clients, for example, to start any recommended private rehabilitation.

We will also provide specialist advice as to how best to structure any award of damages – whether in addition to a lump sum, a periodical payment award (PPO) should be considered to provide an annual amount for life.

We have a long established Court of Protection Team which can assist with advice, including how to protect an award of damages, and any matters requiring Court of Protection input, such as the need for a Deputy, where a claimant cannot manage their own affairs.

Compensation for construction site accidents

Compensation amounts will depend on the type of injury sustained but our team have a track record for obtaining maximum compensation in claims for personal injury where serious injuries have been suffered including spinal injuries, brain injuries and amputations. Compensation can include sums for the care, equipment and treatments needed, new or adapted compensation and for financial losses such as lost earnings and pension. Our lawyers will advise you fully on the potential value of your claim.

Can my attorney just do what they like with my money?

You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity so it is a good idea to think about it early, even if you are young and healthy. The chances are that you won’t need it for a long time and maybe not at all. However, if something unexpected happens, for example if you are in an accident, then having an LPA in place will be one less thing for your loved ones to worry about.

If you make an LPA now and change your mind about who your attorneys should be, then you can always make a new one later.
