At Will Ferguson & Associates, we understand that construction accident victims are not just facing medical bills — they are facing life-changing challenges. Our team has decades of experience representing injured New Mexicans, and we use that experience to push for the maximum compensation available. We are known for our thorough preparation, commitment to client communication, and record of results across Albuquerque.
Construction cases often require a deep investigation into safety violations, OSHA regulations, and industry standards. We work with trusted experts in construction safety and medicine to uncover every detail that strengthens your case. While insurance companies may offer quick settlements, those offers rarely account for the long-term cost of surgeries, rehabilitation, or lost earning capacity. Our focus is always on full and fair recovery, not fast payouts.
There are many ways you could be injured because of construction. For example, if there is construction in the roadway you’re traveling on, you might be injured because of unmarked construction hazards. Bystanders can often be injured by construction accidents, as well.
If you work in construction, you could be seriously injured by falling from a great height while working a job, for example. As a construction worker, you might have to prove gross negligence was involved in order to sue your employer for your injuries. Otherwise, you would be compensated by New Mexico’s workers comp program.
No matter what caused your accident, though, if negligence was involved, you can file a claim to receive compensation. Here are just a few of the parties that could be to blame for your ABQ construction accident:
Serious injuries often result from construction accidents. The more serious your injuries are, the more money you will need from a settlement to compensate you for your damages.
For instance, if you suffer spinal injuries, you might never be able to work again, and you could be permanently disabled. You will need to receive enough of a settlement to pay for your lost wages, your lost earning potential, and the pain and other negative effects of your injuries.
Some injuries that are serious and cause a large amount of damages are burn injuries, broken bones, organ damage, traumatic head injuries, amputations, and more.
Your ABQ construction injury lawyer will work hard to secure the money you are owed for your losses. The following are some of the damages often awarded in successful construction injury claims in Albuquerque:
Under New Mexico law, you generally have three years from the date of your construction accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (NMSA § 37-1-8). Workers injured on the job may be limited to workers’ compensation benefits, but third-party claims — against negligent contractors, property owners, or manufacturers of defective equipment — can often be pursued in addition. Knowing which path is right for your case requires careful analysis, and that is where our experience matters most.
We also understand how workers’ compensation interacts with third-party claims. For example, while workers’ comp may cover medical bills and partial wage replacement, it does not provide damages for pain, suffering, or loss of enjoyment of life. A personal injury claim can bridge that gap and help secure the financial stability you and your family need.
Construction is a dangerous industry, and serious accidents are, unfortunately, common. In some cases, you will need to file a workers’ compensation claim in order to receive the money you need while you’re out of work. In other instances, you can file a personal injury case for a construction accident.
