What if there is a disagreement about who should cover the costs of my construction injury?

Disagreements over liability or damages in personal injury cases are resolved in court, but you have to take affirmative steps to have your claim heard.

Lawsuits are adversarial by nature. While some cases are settled outside of court, you will have the legal burden of proving your case in order to obtain compensation if it goes to court.

You will need to demonstrate that the defendant violated a duty that led to the accident and your construction injuries. If the jury believes you have proved your case by a preponderance of the evidence, damages will be awarded. Preponderance of the evidence means, more likely than not, that the defendant was responsible for the accident.
