Road Construction Accidents

Minneapolis Road Construction Accident Lawyers

Fighting For Road Construction Accident Victims in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin

We all know construction sites are dangerous. Construction workers put themselves at risk daily working with scaffolding and dangerous equipment. They are also subject to strict regulations to protect those in and around them. At the same time, car and truck drivers are forced to swerve around hazardous work zones. A slight error on anyone’s part could lead to a serious construction accident. If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident, our Minneapolis injury lawyers will work vigorously to obtain compensation for you.

For more than a decade, the construction accident attorneys at the Minneapolis law firm of Fay & Associates have helped those injured in accidents obtain maximum compensation to cover lost wages, hospital bills, rehabilitative care, and other medical needs. Part of our law firm’s legacy stems from our experience handling complex personal injury cases.

Minnesota Construction Accidents Determining Fault in Work Zone Accidents

We examine every aspect of your accident to determine the cause of construction accidents. The attorneys at our law firm work closely with accident scene reconstructionists to evaluate property damage, police reports, and witness statements. We offer a hands-on approach to determine if a third party such as a contractor, subcontractor, property owner, or manufacturer is at-fault. We aggressively work to hold all negligent parties responsible for construction injuries, involving:

  • Electrocution
  • Exposure to toxins
  • Equipment accidents
  • Scaffolding accidents

We develop compelling legal arguments to clearly explain the extent of the accident victims’ injuries. We work with our clients’ doctors to show how their life has been affected since the accident to help them obtain workers’ compensation benefits. Simultaneously, we pursue a personal injury claim against negligent third parties for defective equipment and other negligence that contributed to their injuries.

Common Injuries in Road Construction Accidents

These include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Collisions involving heavy equipment, falling objects, or high-speed impacts could result in traumatic brain injuries. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and long-term rehabilitation, leaving victims with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: The force of a collision in a construction zone may cause damage to the spinal cord, leading to partial or full paralysis. Victims often face significant lifestyle changes, costly medical bills, and emotional distress.
  • Fractures and Broken Bones: Construction zones frequently contain obstacles like loose debris, machinery, and uneven pavement. Accidents in these environments can cause fractures and broken bones, often requiring surgery and months of recovery.
  • Internal Injuries: High-impact accidents can result in internal bleeding and damage to vital organs. These injuries are often life-threatening and may require emergency surgical intervention.
  • Lacerations and Burns: Sharp objects, exposed equipment, or fires caused by crashes can leave victims with deep cuts and burns. These injuries may lead to permanent scarring, disfigurement, or chronic pain.
  • Fatalities: In the most tragic instances, road construction accidents lead to fatalities, leaving families to cope with devastating losses and financial uncertainty.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Road Construction Accident Claim?

These include:

  • Medical Expenses: Compensation can cover past, present, and future medical costs, including emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, and necessary medical equipment.
  • Lost Wages: If an injury stops you from working, you may be entitled to recover wages lost during your recovery. For more severe injuries, compensation for diminished earning capacity can address long-term impacts on your career.
  • Pain and Suffering: This category compensates victims for the physical pain and emotional distress that was caused by the accident and its aftermath. Chronic pain, mental health challenges, and reduced quality of life are often factored into this calculation.
  • Property Damage: Victims may recover costs associated with restoring or replacing their vehicle and any other personal property that was damaged in the accident.
  • Loss of Consortium: If injuries significantly affect a victim’s relationships with their partner or family members, compensation may be available for the resulting loss of companionship, support, or intimacy.

Punitive Damages

In instances of egregious negligence or misconduct, like reckless driving or ignoring safety regulations, punitive damages could be granted to penalize the responsible party and prevent similar behavior in the future.

  • “Michael Fay is a professional attorney who exudes excellence.”

    Michael Fay is a professional attorney who exudes excellence. I had the immense pleasure of working with him on a personal injury case that required a lot of time and negotiation. Michael worked tirelessly to ensure the client was happy. The opposing party was not willing to approve a settlement based on his clients claims. Michael was able to foster a very tactful and intelligent dialogue with the opposing counsel to reach a very lucrative settlement for his client.

    - Mike H.
