Falls From Heights

If you or a loved one has been injured in a fall from heights on a construction site, it is important to understand your right to workers’ compensation benefits or personal injury compensation. At Seidman Margulis & Fairman, LLP, in Chicago, we have extensive experience obtaining maximum compensation for construction workers and others who have been injured in falls.

We represent personal injury victims and their families throughout Greater Chicago and Cook County, as well as Du Page, Will, Kane, and Lake counties. Our founding attorney, Steven J. Seidman, has nearly 40 years of experience and has amassed an impressive record of verdicts and settlements for our clients.

When construction workers or others work on or around ladders and scaffolding, roofs, shelves, and other equipment, the risk of injury grows. There is no margin for error when working at heights, as negligence by co-workers, employers and others can result in serious and catastrophic injuries such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Amputations
• Head injuries
• Back injuries

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, we will explore all potential sources of compensation and benefits, including workers’ compensation benefits and personal injury compensation. We are equipped to handle both types of claims at the same time, taking care of your legal issues so you can focus on your recovery.

To begin your case today, contact us for a free initial consultation with a lawyer. We are available to meet with you at our downtown Chicago office or, if you are unable to meet us there, we can come to your home or hospital. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
