Construction Injury? Know Your Full Rights!
Third Party Lawsuits for Tennessee Construction Accidents
You are not always limited to workers' compensation for a construction-related mishap resulting in serious injury. True, you can't sue your employer or co-workers for negligence. But if a third party caused or contributed to the accident, you might have a personal injury case for compensation above and beyond your employer-paid disability benefits.

Construction Accidents and Third Party Liability
If your injuries are linked to the actions or negligence of a person or entity not in your line of employment, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. This can include another subcontractor on the site, a manufacturer of defective equipment, the owner of the property under construction, a maintenance company or others. Contact us to discuss your possible claim relating to a job site injury:
- Falling accident
- Scaffolding or ladder collapse
- Trench collapse
- Road construction accident
- Heavy equipment accident
- Defective power tools and machinery
- Electrocution, fire or explosion
- On-duty vehicle accident
We have also handled claims of injured industrial workers, including employees of the Nissan, Bridgestone/Firestone and Tyson plants.
If we determine you have a valid third party suit, our attorneys work as a team to document the dangerous conditions or equipment. We hire engineering and safety experts to prove liability, and pursue full compensation for present and future losses.
Even if you don't have the basis for a lawsuit, we can handle your workers' compensation claim to ensure you get the full benefits you deserve.
