Who Can I Sue?
Under South Carolina law, construction workers cannot bring a claim against their employer (general contractor) or co-workers, even if their negligence caused the accident. However, we have brought successful suits against third parties, such as other subcontractors on the job site, utility companies, property owners, manufacturers and suppliers of materials.
Construction accidents often result in severe or permanent injury, including spinal cord injuries, loss of limb, severe burns, broken bones or nerve damage. If you cannot return to construction work (or any job), we pursue compensation for your medical care, lost future earnings, pain and suffering, and reduced quality of life.
