Laws of Construction Accidents in Stratford Connecticut

There are two basic categories of Construction Accidents in Stratford.

The first deals with all injuries suffered by individuals who are not employed at the construction site. These cases tend to involve a passer-by being hit by falling objects. In these situations, an "ordinary" personal injury lawsuit will usually be the result.

The second category of Construction Accidents encompasses all accidents sustained by employees on the construction site. Most of the time, these workers are compensated through workman's compensation. In specific situations, however, like when a co-employee is the cause of the accident, the injured party may be able to recover a higher amount.
