Construction Accidents Lawyer for Revere, MA

If you were hurt on a construction site in Revere, you usually have two claims: workers' compensation under M.G.L. c. 152, which pays medical care and roughly sixty percent of lost wages regardless of fault, and a separate negligence suit against the general contractor, other subcontractors, the property owner or the maker of defective equipment.

The short answer for Revere

A Massachusetts construction injury usually proceeds on two tracks at the same time. The first is a workers compensation claim under M.G.L. c. 152, which pays medical care and roughly sixty percent of lost wages regardless of fault but is the exclusive remedy against the worker's own employer. The second, and often the larger, is a third-party negligence suit against the other companies whose conduct contributed to the injury: the general contractor, other subcontractors, the property owner, or the maker of defective equipment or staging. Federal OSHA construction standards at 29 C.F.R. Part 1926 set the safety baseline, and a documented violation helps establish negligence in the third-party case. The two tracks run together, with a workers compensation lien resolved against any third-party recovery. The third-party claim is subject to the three-year limitations period under M.G.L. c. 260 sec. 2A. Jim Glaser Law evaluates Massachusetts construction cases at no cost. Third-party construction matters are accepted on contingency, meaning no attorney's fee unless and until the matter resolves with a recovery to the client; case-related costs and expenses are addressed in the written fee agreement.

Veteran Electrician Injured in Ladder Fall

An electrician with more than three decades at the same company fell from a ladder while stapling wires and injured his right knee. He reported the fall, sought treatment immediately, and kept working. When conservative care did not help, he underwent arthroscopic surgery on the meniscus and went out of work. He returned to the job after surgery, but the pain eventually became so severe that he was advised to stop working again.
