The Schriever Law Firm Construction Accidents

Construction Accident Lawyers in Spanish Fork, UT

Proven Representation in Lehi & Utah Valley

Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in Utah. Heavy machinery, high elevations, electrical systems, and fast-paced activity create constant hazards for workers, delivery drivers, inspectors, and even passersby. One misstep, malfunction, or safety lapse can lead to devastating injuries that can change lives instantly.

The road to recovery can be long and uncertain for injured construction workers. Serious injuries often mean time away from work, mounting medical bills, and the fear of not being able to return to the same job. Non-employees injured at or near a construction site face similar challenges, painful recovery, financial strain, and the need for medical care.

In both cases, you may be entitled to compensation, but the legal path forward depends on your relationship to the site and the cause of your injury. At The Schriever Law Firm, we represent both workers and non-employees in personal injury claims, pursuing maximum compensation for what you have suffered in a negligence-based accident.

Workers’ Compensation – The First Line for Injured Workers

If you were injured while working on a construction site, your first avenue for recovery is typically a workers’ compensation claim.

This can provide benefits for:

Medical treatment
Partial wage replacement while you recover
Disability benefits if you can’t return to work

However, workers’ compensation does not cover pain and suffering and generally does not fully replace your lost wages. It is critical to explore whether a third-party claim is also available.

Third-Party Claims for Additional Recovery

If someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your injury, such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner, you may be able to file a personal injury claim in addition to your workers’ compensation case.

A third-party claim can allow you to recover damages beyond what workers’ comp offers, including:

Full lost wages and loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Long-term care in cases of permanent disability

Non-Employees Injured on a Construction Site

If you were not working on the site but were injured due to unsafe conditions, such as a pedestrian hit by falling debris or a visitor hurt by defective equipment, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim against the parties responsible. These claims can include the same categories of damages as other personal injury cases.

Why Construction Accident Claims Are Complex & Why You Need a Lawyer

Construction site injury cases are rarely simple. Many involve multiple parties, from general contractors and subcontractors to equipment manufacturers and property owners. Identifying who is legally responsible requires a thorough investigation and a clear understanding of construction site operations.

For injured workers, more than one legal path may be available. You may have a workers’ compensation claim for medical benefits and lost wages, and a third-party personal injury claim against someone other than your employer. Each has its rules, deadlines, and evidence requirements, which must be handled carefully to avoid jeopardizing your recovery.

Proving negligence on a construction site can also be technically complex. These cases often require:

Accident reconstruction and site inspections
Expert testimony on safety codes and OSHA regulations
Review of contracts and job site procedures
Preservation of evidence before it disappears

Insurance companies on both sides, workers’ comp and third-party liability, are motivated to limit payouts. Without strong legal advocacy, you risk settling for far less than you need, especially when injuries lead to long-term or permanent disability.

At The Schriever Law Firm, we coordinate both workers’ compensation and personal injury strategies to maximize your recovery. We investigate every angle, protect your rights from day one, and fight to hold every negligent party accountable.
