New Orleans
Construction sites are some of the most dangerous work environments in Louisiana, where a single moment of negligence can lead to life-altering injuries. If you’ve been hurt on a construction site, you may be feeling left behind by your employer, forced to deal with significant pain, lost wages, and mounting medical bills on your own. At Crescent City Personal Injury, we understand the unique challenges faced by injured construction workers. We are committed to giving the insurance companies a run for their money and fighting for the compensation and support you deserve.
Our New Orleans Construction Worker Injury Services:
At Crescent City Personal Injury, we provide dedicated legal services for construction workers injured on the job. Construction workers literally lay the foundation for our nation’s economy, and Louisiana has one of the highest concentrations of construction jobs in the country.
Unfortunately, injured construction workers are often left in the lurch by employers and insurance companies. When negotiating a workers’ compensation claim, they will often look for any excuse to downplay your injuries, deny you coverage, and pay as little in compensation as possible.
Our team of experienced workers’ compensation lawyers helps our clients navigate workers’ compensation claims, filing personal injury lawsuits against third parties when appropriate, and advocating for the maximum compensation available. We work closely with you through every step, from gathering evidence to representing your best interests in negotiations and court proceedings if necessary.

Construction workers face serious risks on the job, and injuries can range from minor to catastrophic. Some of the most common construction site injuries we handle include:
- Falls from heights or scaffolding
- Injuries from falling objects
- Heavy machinery accidents
- Electrical burns and electrocution
- Repetitive strain injuries

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and may result in permanent disability. That’s why it’s critical to have committed legal advocates to help you in the recovery process and secure the compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I’m injured on a construction site?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Then, report the injury to your supervisor, document the accident, and reach out to a workers’ compensation lawyer to understand your rights and options.
How long do I have to file a claim after a construction injury in Louisiana?
For workers’ compensation claims, the filing deadline is generally one year from the date of the injury. Personal injury claims against third parties may have a different statute of limitations, depending on the circumstances. Consult with an attorney to find out more.
Can I choose my own doctor for a construction injury?
In Louisiana, you can usually choose your own doctor for treatment of a work injury. An attorney can help ensure you see qualified professionals who prioritize your recovery.
What if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?
If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. An experienced attorney can guide you through the appeals process to help you secure the benefits you need.
Can I receive compensation if I’m partially at fault for my construction injury?
Yes, Louisiana follows a comparative fault rule, which allows you to recover compensation even if you’re partially at fault. However, your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
