What Compensation Can a Dallas Construction Accident Attorney Help Me Obtain?
The benefits and compensation you can receive after a construction site accident in Dallas, North Carolina depend on several factors. Workers’ compensation benefits could provide medical care coverage and wage loss payments. Some injured workers qualify to pursue a third-party personal injury case, too.
When we file a personal injury claim or lawsuit on our client’s behalf, the unique circumstances of their case determine how much financial compensation they may receive. Relevant factors in your case may include:
- The severity of your injuries
- Your documented expenses and losses
- The physical and psychological pain you suffered
- The length of time it will take you to recover from your injuries
- Whether you have any permanent and/or disabling injuries
The recoverable damages in a Dallas construction accident third-party lawsuit could include:
- Current and future medical care costs
- Income losses and reduced ability to work and earn
- Pain and suffering and other non-economic damages
What If My Loved One Died From Their Dallas Construction Accident Injuries?
While workers’ comp offers a death benefit, a wrongful death lawsuit might also be possible when a construction worker or other victim loses their life on a construction site. Under G.S. § 28A-18-2, the recoverable damages in these cases could include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical care costs incurred before their death
- The decedent’s pain and suffering
- Loss of your loved one’s income
- Loss of your loved one’s companionship and other non-economic benefits

How Will a Dallas Construction Accident Attorney Recover Money for Me?
Depending on the circumstances, a construction accident injury could support both a workers’ compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit. Our law firm manages both of these case types for construction accident victims. This makes us a good choice to help you understand your options and ensure you request as many benefits and as much compensation as possible based on your needs.
Regardless of whether you have access to workers’ compensation, North Carolina law allows you to sue a liable third party who caused your injuries. This is generally anyone who is not your employer or a co-worker. In construction accidents, this could be a property owner, a general contractor, a supplier, a tool manufacturer, or a contractor working on the site.
Our personal injury lawyers know how to identify who is liable in these cases. We will investigate what happened and gather evidence to build a compelling case showing someone else’s negligence harmed you. From there, we may be able to negotiate a payout or sue them in civil court.
When Should I Hire a Dallas Construction Accident Lawyer?
If you run into challenges with your workers’ comp claim, call us immediately. We can assess your options and help you understand how to proceed. We can also evaluate your case to determine if you have a viable third-party claim.
We recommend securing legal representation as early as possible after your injuries occur because there are deadlines for filing a construction accident lawsuit. These include:
- Three years for most injury cases under N.C. Gen. Stat. §1-52
- Two years from the date of death for most wrongful death lawsuits, per N.C. Gen. Stat. §1-53
