When you're injured on a construction site, workers' compensation is just the beginning. Illinois law allows injured construction workers to pursue third-party personal injury claims against general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and other parties whose negligence contributed to your accident. These third-party claims are often worth far more than workers' comp benefits alone — and our attorneys pursue every avenue relentlessly.
Illinois's Scaffold Act (740 ILCS 150) imposes absolute liability on owners and general contractors for injuries caused by scaffolding and elevated work surface failures — one of the most powerful construction worker protection laws in the country. Our Chicago construction accident attorneys are deeply familiar with the Scaffold Act and use it aggressively to hold negligent contractors and property owners fully accountable.
