Fighting for Your Rights Throughout South Dakota

There are approximately 10 million people employed in construction in the United States. It is an industry that provides steady employment for relatively high pay. However, construction sites are notoriously hazardous, and injuries are common.

People who work in construction and industrial settings are the backbone of our country. When these individuals get injured in the line of duty, it’s our duty to help get them back on their feet. Workers across South Dakota and Iowa who have suffered accidents turn to King Law Firm, because we fight for them to obtain justice and to secure compensation for their recovery.

Accidents We’ve Helped Our Clients Recover From

We’ve represented workers involved in all types of construction and industrial accidents. On a construction site, there are many potential sources of danger and, in turn, many ways workers can get hurt. Workers risk getting hit by falling objects and debris, and falling off scaffolding or other elevated surfaces. Commonly used equipment like cranes also presents many opportunities for disaster to strike.

Industrial settings are also target-rich environments for accidents and injuries. 

Moving vehicles present a significant risk, as well as working from heights. Some of the most common accidents we see include:

• Falls from scaffolding and ladders
• Vehicle collisions
• Accidents involving explosives
• Objects falling from a height
• Forklift accidents
• Trench accidents
• Electrocution
• Exposure to hazardous materials
• Elevator shaft accidents

All of these accidents have the potential to result in serious injuries. 

You could be entitled to compensation if you have suffered any of the following injuries after a construction accident:

• Broken bones
• Burns
• Cuts and lacerations
• Crushing injuries
• Eye injuries
• Head injuries
• Spinal injuries

You may also be able to claim for psychological injuries such as Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

If you have been injured, the most important thing is to seek immediate medical attention. After that, you can start thinking about your legal options. Our attorneys can assess your case in detail and walk you through the steps of a workers’ compensation or personal injury claim (or both).

What Benefits Are Available to Injured Construction & Industrial Workers?

Workers’ compensation benefits are the primary source of support for injured workers. These benefits cover your medical expenses, replace your wages, and provide ongoing support if you are disabled from your accident. 

Another option available to injured workers is a third-party liability claim, which is a kind of personal injury claim. If your accident involved a piece of faulty equipment, you could bring a third-party liability claim against the equipment’s manufacturer. The same applies to any other person or party involved in your accident who doesn’t work for your employer.
