Take these steps as soon as you are able:
Construction sites in Montgomery involve many companies at once. General contractors, subcontractors, equipment owners, property managers, and others may be on site. A worker hurt by a subcontractor’s negligence, a defective crane, or an unsafe scaffold may have a claim outside the workers’ compensation system. Visitors hurt near a job site, including drivers along the I-65 and I-85 corridors where road crews often work, may also have a claim against the contractor responsible for the site.
Call us before you talk to an insurance adjuster. What you say in that first call can affect your entire case.
If you have a third-party claim after a construction accident, you may be able to recover personal injury damages. Your damages may include compensation for:
The value depends on how severe your injury is, how it affects your ability to work, and who caused it.
If your injury is covered by Alabama workers’ compensation,those benefits are separate from a third‑party claim. Workers’ compensation pays medical care and a portion of lost wages, but it does not cover pain and suffering or the full value of your lost earning capacity. A third‑party claim can make up that difference when another company caused the hazard that led to your injury.
Liability depends on who controlled the issue that caused your injury. A general contractor can be liable for failing to enforce safety rules on site. A subcontractor can be liable for its own crew’s mistakes. An equipment manufacturer can be liable if a crane, lift, or power tool was defective. A property owner can be liable for a dangerous condition it knew about and left unfixed.
More than one party is often responsible on a construction site, and Alabama law allows you to pursue each one that contributed to your injury. This is different from a workers’ compensation claim against your own employer, which usually will not require proving fault. An injury lawyer can sort out which claims apply to your situation and pursue all of them at once.
Jinks Crow’s trial team secured a $10 million verdict on behalf of a client hurt in a road construction accident. We built the case for trial from the start, and a jury awarded this result:
| Outcome | Case Type |
| $10 Million Verdict | Road Construction Accident |
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case depends on its own facts.
We investigate the accident scene immediately, before evidence disappears. We bring in engineers and safety experts, as needed, when equipment or site conditions caused your injury. We handle every call with the insurance company, so you can focus on recovering.
Our firm has been trying cases in Alabama courts since 1978. We prepare every construction accident case as if it is going to trial. That preparation is often what gets insurance companies to take a claim seriously.
You will work directly with your attorney and your paralegal, not a call center. We are big enough to fight for your fair recovery and small enough to care about you.
Alabama gives you two years from the date of the accident to file most personal injury claims. (Ala. Code § 6-2-38(l).) Missing that deadline can end your right to recover completely. Evidence often disappears quickly, and contacting a lawyer can prevent that from happening. Workers’ compensation has different deadlines.
Alabama follows a pure contributory negligence rule for third-party claims. If the contractor’s insurance company proves you were even slightly at fault, Alabama law can bar you from recovering anything. The same is not true for Alabama workers’ compensation claims.
Not always. Workers’ compensation usually pays medical bills and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault, but it does not pay for pain and suffering. If a party other than your employer, such as a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer, caused your injury, you may be able to pursue a separate claim against them in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits.
Falls from scaffolding or ladders, being struck by falling tools or materials, electrocution near power lines, and being caught in or between heavy equipment cause many construction site injuries. Each of these hazards points to a different party who may share responsibility for what happened to you.
A confidential consultation is free. We work on contingency under Alabama Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5, which means you pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you. We also advance the costs of investigating and building your case.
At Jinks Crow, you will know your attorney and your paralegal by name. We are trial lawyers first, and we prepare every case as if it is going to court. That backbone is why insurance companies take our construction accident claims seriously from the start.
