Construction work carries serious risks — falls, equipment failures, electrocutions, and being struck by objects or vehicles. When a construction worker or a bystander is injured in Idaho, several avenues of recovery may exist.
Common Construction Injuries
- Falls from heights, scaffolding, or ladders.
- Being struck by falling objects or equipment.
- Electrocution from exposed wiring.
- Trench and excavation collapses.
- Heavy machinery and vehicle accidents.
Workers' Comp and Beyond
An injured worker is usually entitled to workers' compensation regardless of fault. But when a third party — a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — contributed to the injury, a separate claim can recover damages comp does not, including pain and suffering.
Report the injury promptly and preserve any defective equipment involved — it may support a third-party claim.
