What types of construction accident cases does BAM Injury Law handle?

BAM Injury Law handles third-party personal injury claims arising from construction accidents. These are claims against parties other than the injured worker's direct employer. If you were injured on a construction site because of a general contractor's negligence, a subcontractor's unsafe work, a property owner's failure to maintain a safe site, or a defective piece of equipment, you may have a valid third-party claim even if you are receiving workers' compensation benefits.

Common third-party construction accident claims include: falls caused by unsafe scaffolding or ladders maintained by another contractor, injuries caused by defective power tools or heavy equipment, and accidents caused by the general contractor's failure to coordinate safe site conditions.

Third-party construction injury claims can run alongside a workers' compensation claim. They are handled separately and can result in significantly greater compensation than workers' comp alone -- including pain and suffering damages that workers' comp does not cover.

Utah's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is four years under Utah Code Section 78B-2-307. Product liability claims against equipment manufacturers may have different deadlines.
