When you or a loved one is hurt in a construction accident, there may be more than one party responsible, including some that may not be obvious right away. Finding these parties and holding them accountable is important – and it can only be done with the help of a construction accident lawyer.
Most big construction companies hire savvy injury defense attorneys to protect their interests.

Work-related injuries or illnesses are typically covered by your state’s workers’ compensation laws. These laws are meant to eliminate employee lawsuits for fault and negligence by classifying workers’ compensation as “no fault”.
That means workers don’t have to prove their employer’s negligence. But the trade-off is it’s difficult for workers to sue their employers under most circumstances. Furthermore, many workers compensation programs severely limit the amount of money that can be awarded. It also limits the length of time compensation can be paid out.
All of this means that it’s hard for workers to hold their employers accountable. But that’s where KFB Law comes in.
