TOLEDO CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT EXPERTS
GET THE HELP YOU DESERVE AFTER A WORK RELATED INJURY WITH THE HELP FROM AN EXPERIENCED WORKERS COMP LAWYER
Without construction workers, our Toledo economy would crumble. In fact, the foundations of society–our bridges, roads, homes, businesses, parks, and more—would not exist. Construction workers are critical to our comfort and to the livelihood of the system in which we all live.
But for construction workers themselves, going to work means taking a big risk each and every day – construction workers are at a high risk of injury, and construction accidents leave numerous workers injured or killed every year. At the law offices of Groth & Associates, our Toledo construction accident lawyers can help you seek compensation if you have been harmed in a construction-related accident.

Some injuries that construction workers are at risk of include:
- Amputation injuries;

What Are My Options after a Toledo Construction Accident Injury?
Whether you are a construction worker or a passerby who is injured in a construction site accident in Toledo, the accident could leave you with a wide range of losses including medical bills, disability, lost wages, pain, suffering, and a diminished quality of life. Our lawyers believe that you deserve to be compensated for these losses.
If you were working at the time of your injury, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance system that allows you to recover benefits for medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages without having to prove fault (or be barred from recovery based on your own fault); however, it also bars you from filing a lawsuit directly against your employer.
Even if you have a workers’ compensation claim and cannot seek damages directly against your employer as such, however, you may also have a third-party liability claim. This is a type of civil suit that is brought against a negligent third party whose actions caused or contributed to your accident and injuries. For example, if your injuries were caused by a piece of defective machinery, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of that piece of machinery.
If you were just a passerby at the construction site at the time the accident and your injury occurred, you will not have a workers’ compensation case but can file a suit directly against the party responsible for your injury. Via a personal injury suit or third-party liability suit, you can seek compensation for the full value of your economic and noneconomic harm.
