Some jobs are more dangerous to work on than others. One job that has a lot of potential for injuries is construction. So much stuff and activity goes on at a construction site that can cause employees or bystanders to get hurt. These injuries can be caused by the negligence of construction helpers who are not very familiar with the procedures at the job. They can also be caused by experienced journeymen who just happened to make a mistake. When the accidents happen, the injured parties will likely sue. A Construction Injury Lawyer in Everett MA represents clients injured due to construction work.
If any injured parties intend to file a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts, whether for construction injuries or others, they should first be aware of the statute of limitations in the Commonwealth. Massachusetts allows three years from the date of the accident for the injured party to file a lawsuit in civil court. If the lawsuit is not filed within that time period, the case will probably not be heard, and any opportunities to receive damages will be gone.
When it comes to receiving damages for personal injuries, it is possible that the sued party will be able to find the injured party partly at fault for the accident. If the injured party is found to be less than 50 percent at fault for the accident at the site, he or she is able to still get damages, minus the percent he or she is found at fault. If the injured party is 50 percent or more at fault, nothing can be collected. In addition to the injury already suffered, this will seem unfair.
