Construction Accident Claims in Michigan: Workers' Comp and Beyond
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces. Injured workers may have more than one path to recovery.
Common Construction Injuries
Falls, struck-by incidents, electrocutions, and equipment accidents — the 'fatal four' — account for most serious construction injuries.
Workers' Comp Plus Third-Party Claims
In addition to workers' compensation, an injured worker may have a third-party claim against a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner whose negligence contributed to the injury.
Maximizing Recovery
Third-party claims can recover damages workers' comp cannot. Michigan's general personal injury statute of limitations is three years from the date of injury under MCL 600.5805. Investigating every potential source of liability is essential.
