Michigan's Construction Site Injuries attorney

Injured on a Job Site? You May Be Entitled to More Than Workers' Comp

Construction sites are dangerous by nature—but when accidents happen due to negligence, safety violations, or faulty equipment, you may be able to seek compensation beyond basic workers’ comp. At The Law Offices of Todd J. Stearn, P.C., we help injured workers and bystanders understand their rights and pursue maximum compensation through third-party injury claims. If a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer was at fault, we’ll build a case that holds them accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I file a lawsuit if I already have workers' compensation?

    Yes. While workers’ comp covers medical expenses and lost wages, you may be able to file a third-party claim against a negligent contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner for additional compensation.

  • What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

    Michigan follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible—though your recovery may be reduced. We’ll evaluate your case and fight to maximize what you can recover.

  • What types of damages can I recover beyond workers’ comp?

    Third-party claims may allow you to recover for pain and suffering, future lost earnings, long-term disability, and emotional distress—things not covered by traditional workers’ comp.

  • How long do I have to file a construction injury claim?

    In most cases, the deadline is three years from the date of the injury, but if a government entity is involved, that timeline may be shorter. It’s important to speak with us as soon as possible.
