I’m an Undocumented Worker. Do I Have Any Rights?

What Should I Do After Being Injured in a Construction Accident?
Immediately after the accident, seek medical attention and report the injury to the site owner. If you cannot move and need assistance, have a co-worker or friend call 911. Also, have friends, family, or co-workers assist in documenting the accident, taking photos of the accident site, and gathering eyewitness accounts. The Law Offices of Eric Richman can also assist you in gathering and properly documenting your accident.
How Are Settlement Amounts Determined in These Cases?
Construction accident settlement amounts will be determined by the unique details of the case, including the severity of medical injuries, the extent of the effect of the accident on your personal and professional life, lost income, and the extent to which the general contractor, site owner, and third parties held responsibility in the accident that occurred.
Some plaintiff’s lawyers over promise to clients at initial sign-up. At the Law Offices of Eric Richman, we always try to be realistic with our clients from day one. In reality, case value and the full extent of your damages are unknown at the beginning of the case. Therefore, any estimate of damages and money recovery is unusually unknown as well.
