Construction Accident Lawyer FAQ I was hurt when I was hit by flying debris on a construction site. Is winning a case like this a sure thing? If I was an independent contractor when I was injured, who can I collect from? Does it matter if I was not licensed? Can I sue my employer if I’m hurt working on a construction site? Or is this likely to be a worker’s compensation claim? and how much can I ask for? How is handling a construction injury different from, say, an auto accident?
