Suing Your Employer After a Workplace Injury

Answer:

When someone comes to us on a construction site injury case, they ask, “Can I sue my employer?” They have some vague general notion of worker’s compensation and those types of things. In a straight case where someone is hurt on a construction site, they are the employee of the contractor and the general rule is you cannot sue your employer, but construction site cases are not as straightforward as other industrial type accident cases. It requires getting into the details or the facts, who may be responsible. While the general rule is you cannot sue your employer but on a construction site accident case, there may be other entities that you can sue. If you have been hurt on a construction site in Nassau County and Duval County or the surrounding counties of northeast Florida or southeast Georgia, feel free to call us. We’ll sit down and we’ll go through all the details and see how best we can help you.
