Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Site Accident Lawsuits in Missouri

Generally, you cannot sue your employer due to the protections offered by workers' compensation laws (you can file a workers compensation claim). However, there are exceptions, such as if your employer intentionally caused your injury or if your employer does not carry workers' compensation insurance.
Remember, each construction site injury case is unique, and the legal landscape can be complex. It's important for victims to seek professional legal advice to navigate their specific circumstances effectively.
Missouri follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you are partly at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
While it's not legally required, having an experienced personal injury lawyer can significantly improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. A lawyer can navigate the legal complexities, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.
Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and punitive damages in cases of egregious negligence.
Workers' compensation claims are designed to provide benefits regardless of fault and typically cover medical expenses and a portion of lost wages. A personal injury lawsuit, on the other hand, is filed when another party's negligence caused your injury. It can result in compensation for full lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages not available through workers’ compensation.
Yes, you may have the right to file a lawsuit if your injury was caused by someone else's negligence, such as an equipment manufacturer, a contractor, or another party. This is separate from a workers’ compensation claim and can help you recover damages for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other losses not covered by workers' compensation.
Seek medical attention immediately, even if you think your injuries are minor. Report the accident to your supervisor or employer as soon as possible, and document everything about the accident, including taking photos and getting contact information from witnesses. It's also advisable to consult with a personal injury attorney to understand your legal options.
