We Will Do The Worrying — And The Fighting — For You

Serving Injured Construction Workers Throughout Minnesota

Construction work is dangerous — everybody knows that. What many construction workers and their families do not know is that they have many specific legal rights under Minnesota workers’ compensation law. Our firm is here to help workers protect those rights.

Proper Medical Care And Wage Replacement Benefits

If you or a loved one was hurt while working construction, Noack Law Office can help you get the benefits you are entitled to — proper medical care and wage replacement benefits for yourself and your family, and in some cases, compensation related to third-party negligence, dangerous products or wrongful death. Our lawyers are well-known for taking on uncooperative employers and their insurance companies, and winning in court. Nobody will work harder to win your case than our firm.

Equipped with more than 35 years of workers’ compensation experience, Noack Law Office handles cases involving:

Falls on construction sites, including falls caused by dangerous conditions
Falling objects and collapsing structures
Vehicle accidents and crashes
Equipment failure
Product liability related to defective tools and materials
Third-party liability
Back and neck injuries
Head and brain injuries
Joint injuries affecting the shoulders, knees, arms, hands, fingers and other body parts

Common Injuries Associated With Construction Accidents

Construction workers face many risks that can lead to serious injuries, particularly those associated with the “Fatal Four” – or falls from heights, struck-by accidents, accidents from being caught in or caught between machinery and electrocutions. Common injuries include:

Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal cord injuries that can lead to paralysis
Broken bones, lacerations and dislocations
Internal bleeding and permanent organ damage
Back injuries, including slipped discs and fractured vertebrae
Electrical burns and heart failure from electrocution
Nerve damage in their hands, arms, legs and feet
Crushed limbs and amputations of fingers, toes and limbs
Chemical burns, respiratory issues and poisoning from toxins
Tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and chronic joint pain
Permanent hearing loss or damage to vision

In some cases, injuries can be so severe and so vast that a construction worker may not even survive.

Shared Responsibility For Construction Accident Injuries

While workers’ compensation is one recourse for injured construction workers and their families, there are often multiple parties that may be held responsible through third-party claims, including:

General contractors and subcontractors for failure to secure scaffolding or other equipment, failing to maintain safety standards on the site or other acts of negligence
Property owners for not addressing known hazards before the work began or failing to communicate safety risks to workers
Manufacturers of equipment or materials, whenever defective products or tools cause an injury due to malfunction or the failure to provide adequate safety warnings
Architects and engineers for design flaws that lead to structural failures and increase the risk of injuries
Third-party transport companies for injuries caused by improperly loaded or delivered materials or misoperation of equipment like forklifts or cranes

One of the most important jobs a construction accident lawyer has is to identify all possible liable parties after an accident and the various avenues for compensation available. That helps maximize the damages an injured worker and their family can receive.

Benefits For Injured Construction Workers

After sustaining injuries in a construction accident, you may be entitled to benefits to help you recover and move forward. Examples of these benefits include:

Disability compensation: Financial support if your injury results in temporary or permanent disability, making sure you are financially stable despite the inability to work.
Medical care: Coverage for injury-related medical expenses, including hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation and ongoing care.
Lost wages: Compensation for wages lost due to time off work during recovery or if your injury prevents you from returning to your job.
Vocational rehabilitation: Assistance in obtaining training or education for a new job if you are unable to return to your previous employment due to your injury.

At Noack Law Office, we understand the unique challenges that you will be dealing with, and we will work to deliver the maximum compensation possible.
