Accidents on the job can occur when worker’s conditions are unsafe. It is essential to contact a lawyer if you have suffered an injury in a construction environment in order to properly pursue your case.

Typically, injuries suffered on a construction site are covered under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act. Additionally, “third party” claims against entities other than the injured worker’s employer may be applicable. These may include architects, engineers, inspectors or contractors.

At MDR, we have the skills needed to successfully litigate, arbitrate or mediate construction disputes.

Since the inception of MDR, our attorneys have litigated a $267,000 settlement for a construction worker whose hand was crushed due to the negligent duty of care exercised by his employers
