After you experience a construction accident:
1. Don’t move if you suspect a head or back injury.
2. If your condition allows, call an ambulance. Apart from ensuring medical care, the emergency team will take detailed notes of the accident’s location and your condition.
3. If your condition allows, take photos or videos of the accident site and your injuries. If you cannot do it on your own, ask a colleague to do it for you.
4. Take note of the witnesses to your accident.
Inform your manager about the accident by giving essential information, only.
5. Do not communicate with the safety inspector on site, as this can affect your chances of pursuing fair compensation in the future.
6. Typically, safety inspectors work closely with insurance companies.
7. Do not sign anything without consulting a personal injury lawyer you trust.
