Helping Injured Construction Workers in Nebraska
If you work construction and frequently use heavy equipment, you know how dangerous and strenuous the work can be. Many construction accidents involve heavy equipment because of the high level of risk involved with operating machinery. In fact, one of the leading causes of workplace injuries in the U.S. is heavy equipment construction accidents. At Harris Law Offices, we help injured construction workers seek compensation for these devastating injuries.
Call our law firm in Lincoln, Nebraska, at 402-817-0148 or 888-339-7938 to speak with a knowledgeable lawyer about your construction accident or contact us online. We work on a contingency fee basis — we don't collect attorneys' fees unless we collect benefits for you.
In order to work in construction, you usually need the full use of your body. You need to be able to lift, bend, stoop and twist. If you suffered an injury and you lost mobility or cannot utilize a limb, you can no longer do your job. A construction worker's earning capacity is significantly reduced after an accident — especially if he or she has many years of experience. We can also help you seek payment for lost wages and loss of future earnings. If you are a family member of someone who has lost his or her life due to a construction accident, we can aggressively pursue a wrongful death claim.

Don't Let a Third Party Escape Responsibility
In addition to filing a workers' compensation claim, it is important that any workplace accident resulting in an injury be thoroughly investigated to identify all liable parties and avenues of potential compensation. If you believe a subcontractor, property owner, co-worker or the equipment manufacturer is at fault for your injury, an experienced attorney will make sure that you file a third party claim seeking proper monetary compensation.
