Chicago Construction Accident Lawyer for Jobsite Injuries
Legal Help for Construction Accident Injuries
Construction work is demanding-and dangerous. If you were hurt on a site in Chicago or nearby suburbs, the Law Offices of Mark P. Loftus can help. Mark represents
union and non-union workers, subcontractors, and bystanders injured near projects from the West Loop to Joliet and Naperville.
Common Construction Accident Cases
Scaffolding collapses, ladder falls, falling objects, trench failures, electrical shocks, crane and forklift incidents, and missing fall protection. We identify who's responsible-general contractors, subcontractors, site owners, or equipment manufacturers-and gather safety records and OSHA evidence to prove fault.
Workers' Comp vs. Third-Party Claims
Employees generally receive Workers' Compensation benefits, but workers' comp doesn't cover pain and suffering. If a third party-not your direct employer-caused the injury, we can pursue a separate lawsuit for full damages while coordinating your comp benefits.

Construction Accident FAQ
Can I sue if I'm already getting workers' comp?
Yes-if a subcontractor, property owner, or product defect caused your injury, we can pursue a third-party claim.
What if I'm a passerby hurt near a site?
You may have a negligence claim; companies must keep the public reasonably safe around active work zones.
Do these cases settle or go to trial?
Many settle when liability is clear; Mark prepares every case for court to strengthen your position.
