At first I wasn’t thinking about obtaining a lawyer until I received a letter from Walmart claim center stating that it appears that I would not be filing a claim and also encouragement from friends about taking on a company like Walmart expecting medical payment. That being said I/we contacted a few firms that advertise on TV and one we know personally. No one was interested in taking on a slip and fall claim. So, my wife started to look at the yellow pages and found the law firm LOUTHIAN. We set up and appointment and met with Mr. Louthian. He didn’t hesitate to represent me in the slip and fall claim. Unfortunately, it took many months to get a copy of the medical bills from the VA medical center. Once that was accomplished, it took a few weeks to settle the claim. I was contacted by Mr Louthian on the first offer and was kind of expecting around that offer. BUT, Mr Louthian said that I deserved more and would go back and negotiate for more. The final offer was not expected by me. I never thought that I would receive that amount. Thanks to Mr Louthian,I was very pleased that he got that much. I will tell all my friends about the law firm and recommend it to them. I also got a bunch of business cards to give away.

On behalf of my family and me, I would like to commend Bert Louthian and his firm for the exemplary handling of our recent wrongful death suit against a county whose employee was responsible for the death of my husband. Bert and his associates were successful in getting our family the maximum award allowed by law. More importantly, he did so while treating us like individuals and not as dollar signs for his firm. No one in my family had ever before been involved in such a situation. This was a very emotional time for us. We were coping with the loss of our loved one as well as the stress of attempting to right a wrong. We could never have achieved this alone. We were unfamiliar with what could or should be done, and during the course of litigation, we had many questions. Bert always accepted our calls with understanding and answered our questions in a timely manner. He never made us feel we were a bother or an unnecessary burden on his work load or on that of his staff. He treated us with compassion and with dignity. He continues to advise us as to our remaining rights even though our case has been settled. I did not know Bert before this incident. I therefore feel certain that he treats all his clients with similar concern and care.

Construction is one of the deadliest civilian jobs in the United States, with 774 fatalities in 2010, the highest number of any industry, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bureau reports that there were 11.8 fatalities among construction laborers for every 100,000 employees in 2010, more than three times the national rate of 3.6 per 100,000 for all sectors. And four construction laborers out of every 100 are injured each year. The South Carolina construction accident lawyers at The Louthian Firm Accident & Injury Lawyers can help you get the compensation you deserve if you have been hurt on the job.

South Carolina laws require that employers maintain a safe work environment and follow all of the applicable workplace safety rules.

But construction work can be dangerous by its nature — workers must do their jobs around heavy equipment, extreme temperatures, dangerous chemicals and dizzying heights. These problems are complicated at some South Carolina job sites by employers, subcontractors, developers, property owners or co-workers who don’t follow safety rules or fail to warn workers about unsafe conditions.

If you or someone you care about suffered a construction injury at a South Carolina construction site due to someone else’s carelessness, you have the right to hold them legally liable for your injuries. With a construction accident lawsuit, you may be able to collect financial compensation for your medical bills, missed work, injuries, disability and other serious, long-term effects of the accident. If a family member was killed in a construction accident, you may be able to bring a wrongful death lawsuit.

Call our construction accident lawyers today toll free at 803-592-6231 or use our online contact form. We always offer free, no-obligation personal injury case evaluations, and we don’t take a dime in fees until we win your case. The Louthian Firm Accident & Injury Lawyers represents injured construction workers in Columbia and throughout South Carolina.

Types of Construction Accidents

Common types of construction accidents resulting in injury include:

These accidents and others can lead to workplace injuries including: brain injuries (TBI); back and spine injuries, loss of limbs; vision loss and eye injuries; crush injuries; knee, ankle and foot injuries; burn injuries and even death.

If you’ve been injured on the job, you are likely eligible for workers’ compensation. Our South Carolina construction accident attorneys have considerable experience in workers’ compensation and can help you secure the benefits you need and deserve, even if you think your employer and its insurance company aren’t playing fair.

Workers’ compensation is usually the only way to recover benefits from your employer because it is an exclusive, no-fault system. However, it could be possible to hold other responsible parties liable for your injuries. Construction accidents often involve more than one company — subcontractors, manufacturers of heavy equipment, property owners, architects and others may also be liable if they had a hand in causing your injury. If that’s the case, you may be able to collect workers’ compensation payments and still pursue a construction accident lawsuit.

A South Carolina third-party construction injury lawsuit could allow you to recover for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, future earnings, disfigurement, your spouse’s losses and punitive damages. Awards are typically in addition to what a worker receives from workers’ compensation alone. It is important to seek out legal help to make sure you are able to pursue all avenues of recovery for your construction site injuries.
