If you've worked on construction sites, you'll know how it is. Often there's a lot of material to be moved and no way to do it except manually. The team is on a deadline, the boss is going crazy, and you find yourself under pressure to carry heavier and heavier loads.
What's more, if your workmates are doing the same thing, you won't want to be the one to protest that it's too much - you'd never live it down! Yet there are limits on what your boss is allowed to ask you to carry in this situation, and those limits are there for a very good reason.
Anyone who's worked for long in a physical job knows that there are two types of strain - one which builds up your body, and one which damages it. If you are regularly made to carry loads which exceed the maximum weight limit, you can end up damaging yourself in ways which will stay with you for life.
Yet because the precise cause of these injuries can be hard to pinpoint - especially if you've worked for more than one employer - you may be uncertain how to take legal action. This is where you need the assistance of specialist construction accident lawyers.
An accident doesn't have to be something which happens suddenly. Damage to your body caused over a period of time is a serious problem and can be the responsibility of the company which put you in that position. That company - not you - should be liable for any medical expenses incurred as a result.
It should also compensate you for loss of quality of life if there are things you can no longer enjoy due to the damage you've suffered.
Construction accident lawyers specialize in this type of claim and can help you to track down the responsible party and claim what you're owed. No construction project is ever so important that it should come before your health.
