The law of Construction Accidents in Evanston Illinois

There are two major groups of Construction Accidents in Evanston.

The first category of construction accidents are those in which persons not employed at the construction site are injured. Typically, these are visitors, or people who simply happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. These can usually be handled through a standard personal injury lawsuit.

The second type is when it is a construction worker that is injured on site. In most situations, the worker's only recourse is worker's compensation, but there are sometimes circumstances where the employee can collect more. If the employee was injured by a co-worker or the accident stemmed from a defective product, the construction worker may be able to recover greater damages.
