A: It depends on the facts and circumstances. You certainly suffered injuries. The pursuit and recovery on a case and claim varies from State to State. If the injury occurred while you were at work, you have a worker's compensation claim to pursue. There may be a cause of action against the property owner and / or the contractor. Typically, except for worker's compensation cases or claims, there needs to be some kind of negligence or fault involved. In other words, the incident was foreseeable and preventable. Contact a local personal injury attorney to discuss the issues and your legal rights. Good luck.
