Construction Injury Lawyers

Hard working people who are injured on the job often experience that their employers don’t want to take care of them the way they should. Victims of construction site accidents also find that getting the care they need involves sorting out a complicated and confusing maze of legal issues and documents pertaining to worker’s compensation (or the lack of worker’s compensation as is often the case), insurance coverage, and employer liability. At the Salazar Law Firm, we sort through the entire legal process and make sure that you get the compensation that you deserve.

People who work in construction and industrial areas are far more likely to suffer extreme or debilitating injuries. This type of accident is especially common for Hispanic workers. In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more and more Hispanic workers are being injured or even killed on the job, while at the same time overall numbers of injury and death have gone down. Over the last 15 years, overall worker deaths have gone down by 8%, while Hispanic worker deaths have increased by an alarming 80%.

Oftentimes, these types of incidents occur because employers do not provide the proper training for their workers. This type of negligence by construction companies can often lead to favorable results for the victim in a construction accident case. With a construction injury lawyer from the Salazar Law Firm on your side, you can get that favorable result and get the compensation that you deserve from your employer.
