Construction workers and site managers have a legal obligation to the people around them. If these parties can’t maintain the duty of care they owe to the public, the public is at risk for devastating accidents, as are other people on a worksite. If you’re struggling with the aftermath of a construction accident, Baltimore lawyers can help you navigate your recovery.
Keilty Bonadio and our personal injury lawyers in Baltimore believe in making the legal process accessible. We don’t bow to insurance companies when they offer you insufficient settlements, and we take your losses seriously.
We have over 50 years of combined experience and have secured substantial settlements on behalf of our clients. Let us do the same for you as you pursue your personal injury lawsuit.
Should You Accept a Settlement After a Construction Accident?
Our team doesn’t recommend accepting a construction site injury settlement offer immediately after your accident. While that initial offer might seem like it will cover the cost of your recovery, it’s most likely an offer made in hopes that you won’t pursue a lawsuit against a manufacturer or construction company.
If you do receive a settlement offer immediately after your accident, you can inform the person offering you that support that you need to speak to an attorney before you accept it. Turning down that initial offer will not rob you of the chance to receive others. Rather, turning that offer down gives you more room to negotiate as you progress through your recovery.
You Deserve Justice and Compensation.
We are committed to your case and dedicated to your success. Let our experienced Baltimore attorneys fight for you.

Our construction accident attorneys in Baltimore recommend reaching out to a legal representative promptly after an accident. While you should prioritize your access to medical attention, legal guidance is the next most important thing to pursue if you want to kickstart your recovery.
Attorneys can keep insurance adjusters and construction crew representatives at bay while you’re assessing the impact an accident had on your health. In doing so, your legal representative can preserve your rights and prevent those parties from pressuring you into accepting a settlement or signing away your right to legal action.
Additionally, an experienced attorney can keep you on top of your construction accident case’s statute of limitations. If you want a liable party to help you pay your medical bills and other post-accident expenses, you need to file a legal claim within three years of your accident. The state goes into more detail about this deadline in Md. Code Cts. & Jud. Proc., § 5-101.

- Heavy equipment accidents
