I never left a review after the incredible services this law firm provided me. I was in a car accident. Steve Franklin was caring and extremely helpful during the traumatic time. I was new to living in the area and felt so comfortable and supported by him. Five years later…. They still send me birthday cards. I know, I know…. It may seem silly, but this is such a sweet gesture! 10/10 Recommend.

I am very Lucky to have found Ian De Verna for my attorney. I was injured in a car accident and while Ian was working on my case I was hit by someone again. This time the person had no insurance I was injured again and my brand new car was totaled. Being injured again I was pretty scared but thankfully Ian took on this case for uninsured motorist against my insurance company as well. It was a challenge I am sure but Ian and his staff were very professional and caring the whole time. With all Ian's hard work he was able to get policy limits for both cases. Ian is not only good at his profession but truly cares about his clients and works very hard with his great group of people at Becker Franklin Rovang Injury office

Who Is Liable in a Construction Accident?
Construction accidents often include a variety of contractors and subcontractors all working a site at the same time, opening the door to multiple liable parties. Determining liability is crucial to building a strong case and receiving the compensation you deserve. Common liable parties in construction accidents include:
- Construction site owners
- General contractors
- Subcontractors
- Architects and engineers
- Equipment manufacturers
Remember, seeking sound counsel is critical to navigating the complexities of construction accident claims. Our firm can fight to maximize and recover damages while you focus on making a swift recovery.
Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury Lawsuits
In all workplace accidents resulting in injuries, the worker is entitled to benefits from the Department of Labor and Industries. This is known as workers' compensation.
However, workers’ comp benefits are often very limited. If a third party is responsible for the accident, the injured worker may be entitled to all of the remedies available to any other accident victim, in addition to workers’ compensation.
Securing experienced representation is a must to ensure you’re compensated fairly after a construction site accident. Becker Franklin Rovang can help by evaluating your case, calculating potential damages, and working tirelessly to recover the full compensation available to you.
