However, it is also one of the most hazardous sectors for workers.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 11.4 million people were employed in construction in 2019, marking a 25% increase since 2011. Unfortunately, falls remain the leading cause of work-related fatalities in this sector, accounting for 36.4% of all construction-related deaths.

Types of contruction accidents

There are various types of contruction accidents, among the most common are:

How Much Does a Construction Accident Lawyer Cost?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning:

No upfront fees: Lawyers only get paid if they win your case.
Fee percentage: Usually between 25% and 40% of the recovered amount, depending on complexity.

Transparent costs: It’s important to discuss financial terms upfront to avoid surprises.

How Long Does a Construction Accident Claim Take?

The time required to settle a claim depends on factors like:
- Case complexity: Severe injuries or multiple parties can extend the process.
- Insurance negotiations: If the insurer accepts liability quickly, the process is shorter. If disputes arise, it may take months or years.
- Trial process: If a fair settlement isn’t offered, taking the case to court can significantly extend the timeline.
On average, claims resolve within a few months, but complex cases may take years.

What Is the Deadline to File a Lawsuit After a Construction Accident?

The deadline to file a car accident lawsuit depends on state law:

Most states have a statute of limitations of 2 to 3 years from the accident date.
For hidden injuries or newly discovered evidence, the deadline may extend.
Lawsuits against government entities often have much shorter deadlines (sometimes just six months).

Consulting a local car accident lawyer ensures you file within the legal time frame.
