What to Do After a Construction Site Injury
Construction site accidents and injuries require immediate attention. If you’ve been hurt on a construction site, follow these steps to protect your health and your legal rights:
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Your health is the top priority. Prompt medical care not only supports your recovery but also documents your injuries for your claim.
Report the Accident
Notify your employer or site supervisor as soon as possible. In Florida, you must report a workplace injury within 30 days to be eligible for workers’ compensation.
Document Everything
If possible, take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any equipment involved. Get contact information from witnesses.
Consult a Construction Accident Attorney
Before signing anything from an insurance company, speak with a lawyer who understands Florida construction and personal injury laws.

Our team at Bonardi & Uzdavinis can help determine liability and build a strong compensation case.
Legal Options for Injured Construction Workers
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ comp operates under Florida’s no-fault system. If you were partially responsible for an accident, you could still receive compensation with exceptions. Most Florida construction workers are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, which cover:
- Emergency and ongoing medical treatment
- A portion of lost wages
- Temporary or permanent disability
- Rehabilitation
Personal Injury Lawsuits
Our team has extensive experience litigating third-party construction accident claims and will strive to maximize your recovery. Filing a personal injury lawsuit may allow for wider compensation in cases where multiple parties are responsible. Here are some of them:
- Full lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium (in some cases)
Wrongful Death Claims
If your loved one was fatally injured in a construction accident, compensation can provide support to help your family through this difficult time. Though money won’t bring back those lost to you; nevertheless it will provide much-needed financial stability during such trying times as:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of income and support
- Loss of companionship
- Emotional pain and suffering
What Compensation Can I Recover?
At Bonardi & Uzdavinis, we thoroughly assess every aspect of your case to demand the full compensation you are owed.
Every case is different, but you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (past, present, and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Disability or disfigurement
- Psychological trauma
- Emotional distress
- Loss of life enjoyment
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
Florida Statute of Limitations for Construction Accidents
Under Florida law, personal injury claims should generally be initiated within four years from the date of an accident; workers’ compensation cases must be initiated within two years and reported within thirty days to your employer.
Missing deadlines may rob you of any chance of recovering damages; that is why consulting a knowledgeable attorney as soon as an incident takes place is of vital importance.
