Michael Gangadeen is a personal injury and general litigation lawyer
who has won many cases throughout his career. A good portion of these
cases have been claims that involved clients who suffered construction
accidents. Such misfortunes are very different from to car accidents and
other injuries, simply because a construction site is a constantly
changing environment, as opposed to a road that will likely remain in
the same condition after an accident, a construction site could be
completely different after a couple of hours. This often makes the legal
process quite a bit harder.
Important Steps after an Accident
There are a number of details that should be taken account of. All of the following points imply that the person in question not only survived the accident, but got away with relatively minor injuries that would allow the completion of the following protocol:
- Save any evidence that could be important. This can mean keeping physical objects, or taking as many photographs as possible.
- If one is capable of taking notes, they should always do it, as this factor can absolutely represent the difference between a winning case with a hefty settlement fee, or a very small settlement that’s not in line with the severity and consequences of the accident. Writing down certain factors becomes even more important if the afflicted person suffered a head injury, as the aftereffects could later hinder their memory.
- Collecting the names and contact information of potential witnesses is one of the most important aspects of the preparation. If they saw something that the injured did not, that information should also be written down.
- After filing a claim for possible compensation, the next step is hiring a legal expert who will deliver the claim. It’s important to wait before contacting the insurance company until one has secured their legal representation.
Ways a Construction Injury Lawyer Can Help
Once the legal expert knows the facts and has had a chance to evaluate the severity of the injury, not from a medical, but a legal standpoint, they are able to come up with the right strategy based on facts and evidence, and therefore have the highest chance of winning a claim in court. The recovery process can be grueling as well, and someone who understands the pressure and what the injured goes through, can provide much needed hope and positivity during the hard times.
Potential Third Parties Could Be Involved
Sometimes third parties end up being held accountable for an accident (subcontractors for example), and that brings another component into the already complex legal process. In these cases, the attorney can evaluate the legal situation based on the potential outcomes, and select the best course of legal action. When Michael Gangadeen takes on a case, he always makes sure to learn all the details and build the claim based on them.
