Solomon Law SC

Construction Accident Lawyer – Irmo, SC

Construction sites are known for their dangers. With heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and multiple teams working simultaneously, it’s no surprise that accidents happen—and when they do, the consequences can be devastating. If you’ve been injured in a construction accident in Irmo, SC, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your injuries and losses.

Although The Solomon Law Group, LLC is located in Columbia, SC, our firm proudly serves individuals in Irmo and throughout the surrounding region. We bring decades of experience in personal injury law and a deep commitment to fighting for injured workers and their families.

Construction Accidents Can Lead to Serious Injuries

Construction sites expose workers and visitors to countless risks. Whether it’s a scaffolding collapse, machinery malfunction, or fall from a height, the results can be catastrophic. Victims often face:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones or amputations
  • Crush injuries
  • Burns or chemical exposure
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage

In addition to the physical pain, victims often face significant financial hardship from mounting medical bills and time missed from work. Some may never be able to return to the job they once held.

Who Is Liable After a Construction Site Injury?

Determining liability in a construction accident is often more complex than in other types of injury cases. Multiple entities may be responsible, including:

  • General contractors and subcontractors
  • Equipment manufacturers
  • Property owners
  • Architects or engineers
  • Third-party vendors or site visitors

Each of these parties has a duty to follow safety regulations, provide proper training, and ensure a reasonably safe work environment. When they fail in those duties and someone is hurt, they may be held liable.

Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury Lawsuit

If you were injured on the job, your first step is typically to file a workers’ compensation claim. This system provides benefits like medical care and partial wage replacement, regardless of fault. However, workers’ comp does not allow for recovery of damages like pain and suffering.

There are situations where you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit alongside or instead of a workers’ comp claim, such as:

  • Injuries caused by defective machinery or equipment
  • Negligence by a third party (not your employer)
  • Unsafe property conditions unrelated to your employer’s control

The Solomon Law Group can help you determine whether your accident warrants additional legal action beyond workers’ compensation.

Compensation Available to Construction Accident Victims

A successful personal injury claim can help ease the financial burden caused by a construction accident. Compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses, including surgery and rehabilitation
  • Future medical treatment and assistive devices
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Wrongful death damages, if a loved one passed away from their injuries

Our legal team will carefully calculate your total damages to ensure no losses are overlooked.
