Phoenix Construction Accident Wrongful Death Attorneys
Construction sites as a rule are some of the most dangerous places at which to work in the United States. Sometimes these construction-related accidents result in the worst possible outcome: a construction accident death. In tragic cases such as these, the bereaved families may not be aware that they may be entitled to financial compensation as the result of losing a loved one in a Phoenix construction accident. You may find information below about construction accident deaths and your legal rights.
There are many causes of construction accident deaths, which can affect workers of varying levels of expertise in any area of a construction project. A beam could fall from above, hitting a worker's head and causing a traumatic brain injury that resulting in death. A person working on electrical aspects of a project could be fatally electrocuted. Exposure to toxic chemicals could lead to the death of a worker. A heavy construction vehicle could hit another vehicle, causing fatalities. Stairs or trenches could collapse, killing an unsuspecting worker. Dangerous situations are everywhere on a construction site, but whatever happens to cause a construction accident death, the results are the same. The family is deprived not only of their loved one, but also of their income and other participation in the family.
The law fortunately allows families of victims of construction accident deaths to seek financial compensation for their loss. In cases where another party's carelessness or lack of responsibility led to the construction accident, the parents, spouse, or children of the deceased person can sue for compensation in civil court for any associated loss of wages or other costs. They can generally collect more monetarily than just what a workers compensation claim in Arizona allows after a construction site injury. Though this cannot replace the family member lost, it can help the family financially, as well as punishing those whose negligence may have led to the loss of a family member in a construction accident death.
