Immediate Steps to Take After a Construction Injury

Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Your health is the most important priority. Even if your injuries seem minor, it is crucial to get a thorough medical evaluation to identify any underlying issues and to document your injuries for your claim.

Report the Incident: Notify your supervisor or site manager about the injury as soon as possible. Ensure that the incident is recorded in the company's accident report log. This documentation is essential for any legal and insurance claims you may pursue.

Document the Scene and Gather Evidence: If you are able, take photos of the accident scene, the equipment involved, and any visible injuries. Collect contact information from any witnesses who saw the accident occur. Detailed evidence can be critical in supporting your claim.

Preserve Physical Evidence: Keep any clothing, tools, or safety equipment involved in the accident. These items can serve as vital evidence in demonstrating the conditions that led to your injury.

Consult a Construction Injury Lawyer: Before making statements to insurance companies or signing any documents, consult with a construction injury lawyer. An experienced attorney will help you understand your rights, evaluate your case, and guide you through the process of securing compensation.
