What to Expect When Working With Us

We understand that whether your construction accident was minor or catastrophic, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Our team will guide you through every step of the process, helping you recover physically, emotionally, and financially while we fight for the full compensation you deserve.

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a thorough consultation to understand your injury, medical needs, and worksite conditions. We also guide you on what to do next and how to avoid missteps with employers or insurers. This consultation is free, and there’s no obligation to proceed.

2. Investigation Phase

We gather OSHA reports, interview witnesses, inspect the site, and work with medical experts. We also review contracts to determine who failed in their duty to keep you safe.

3. Claim Development

We’ll calculate the full extent of your damages and prepare comprehensive settlement demands or legal filings.

4. Negotiation or Litigation

We’ll pursue fair compensation through negotiation when possible, but we’re always prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.

Common Types of Construction Accident Injuries

Construction work in and around Globe comes with serious risks, especially when safety protocols are ignored. Workers face daily hazards that can lead to life-altering injuries.

Some of the most common injuries we see include:

Traumatic brain injuries from falls or being struck by falling materials
Spinal cord damage and paralysis caused by falls or heavy equipment accidents
Crush injuries from collapsing structures or machinery malfunctions
Electrocution and burns from exposed wiring or faulty tools
Fractures and orthopedic trauma caused by slips, trips, and equipment failure
Lacerations and puncture wounds from tools, rebar, or construction debris

Even an injury that seems minor at first can worsen over time. If someone else’s carelessness played a role, it’s important to understand your rights and options for recovery.

Personal Injury Claims After Construction Accidents in Globe

Under Arizona law, most construction workers are covered by workers’ compensation, even if the injury was partly their fault. These benefits can help with medical bills and lost wages, but they are often not enough.

What many injured workers don’t realize is that they may also have the right to file a personal injury claim, especially if someone other than their employer contributed to the accident.

You may be able to pursue a third-party claim if your injury involved:

A subcontractor from another company
A property owner or developer who failed to maintain safe conditions
A defective tool or piece of equipment

These claims allow you to seek additional compensation for pain and suffering, future medical care, long-term disability, and other losses that workers’ comp doesn’t cover.

Construction Remains One of Arizona’s Most Dangerous Jobs

Construction is consistently one of the highest-risk industries in Arizona. In a small community like Globe, one serious accident can change not just a worker’s life, but an entire family’s future.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020:

Construction and extraction jobs accounted for 1,008 workplace deaths nationwide
Over 174,000 workers were seriously injured on the job
These incidents made construction the leading industry for both fatal and nonfatal workplace injuries

These numbers highlight what many local workers already know — construction is dangerous, and when safety is overlooked, lives are at risk.

Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury Claims

One of the most important legal distinctions after a construction accident in Globe is the issue of fault, and how it affects your ability to recover compensation.

Workers’ Compensation: No-Fault Coverage

In Arizona, workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, which means you can receive benefits regardless of who caused the accident. Even if you made a mistake that contributed to your injury, you may still be eligible for medical care and partial wage replacement.

You are not required to prove negligence. However, the tradeoff is that benefits are limited, and in most cases, you cannot file a lawsuit against your employer. Workers’ comp also does not cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, or loss of quality of life.

Personal Injury Claims: Fault-Based Compensation

Personal injury claims require proof that another person or company was at fault. This may include a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner whose negligence caused your injury.

If you can prove fault, the range of compensation available is much broader. A personal injury case allows you to seek recovery for:

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Ongoing and future medical treatment
Loss of enjoyment of life
Full lost income, not just a portion

Unlike workers’ comp, a personal injury claim is handled through the civil court system and is focused on full financial accountability.

How We Help Injured Construction Workers in Globe

At Miller Kory Rowe, we help injured workers understand both workers’ compensation and personal injury claims. In many cases, you may be able to pursue both types of recovery, and we make sure no legal option is overlooked.

To succeed in a personal injury claim, we must demonstrate:

A third party owed you a legal duty of care
That duty was violated through negligence or unsafe practices
The violation directly caused your injury

These cases require close attention to detail, strong evidence, and a deep understanding of Arizona law. Our legal team brings all of that to the table for injured workers across Globe and Gila County.

Third Parties Who May Be Liable for Construction Accident

On many construction sites in Globe, multiple companies and contractors may be working side by side. When safety rules are ignored or proper precautions are not taken, it increases the risk of serious injury. In these situations, it may not be your direct employer who is responsible.

Outside individuals or companies, known as third parties, can be held legally responsible if their negligence contributed to the accident.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

In a Globe-area construction project, the following parties could be at fault:

Subcontractors or independent contractors working on the site
Property owners or site managers
General contractors overseeing the project
Equipment or tool manufacturers if defects caused the injury
Utility companies or site engineers involved in planning or design
Negligent drivers near roadside or highway construction zones

If any of these parties created unsafe working conditions or failed to follow established safety protocols, you may have the right to file a third-party personal injury claim in addition to receiving workers’ compensation.

What Compensation Can Cover in a Globe Construction Injury Claim

A third-party personal injury claim gives you the chance to pursue the full extent of compensation available under Arizona law. While workers’ comp helps with some expenses, personal injury law allows you to seek full and fair recovery. This includes the long-term effects that go far beyond basic medical bills.

Here is what compensation may include:

Medical Expenses (Past and Future)

This includes emergency transport, hospital stays, surgery, physical therapy, medications, and follow-up care. Long-term needs such as adaptive equipment, in-home care, or ongoing rehabilitation may also be covered.

Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity

If you missed weeks or months of work, or cannot return to your job due to physical limitations, you may be eligible for both current and future lost income. This is especially important for construction workers whose jobs often rely on physical ability.

Pain and Suffering

Chronic pain, limited mobility, nerve damage, and other lasting physical effects can impact every part of your life. Compensation should reflect this lasting harm.

Emotional Distress

Traumatic injuries often bring mental and emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, or PTSD. A personal injury claim can take these real consequences into account.

Permanent Disability or Disfigurement

If the injury results in paralysis, loss of a limb, or visible scarring, the impact on your life can be profound. Arizona law allows for additional compensation in these cases.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life

If you can no longer do the things you once enjoyed, such as playing with your children, working with your hands, or participating in outdoor activities, this loss matters and should be reflected in your claim.

Every Injury Has a Story

No two accidents are alike, and neither are the people affected by them. At Miller Kory Rowe, we take time to understand how the injury has changed your life, your work, and your future. Our goal is to help you secure the resources you need and the accountability you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Motorcycle ACCIDENTS

Q: What does it cost to hire MKR?

We work on a contingency basis. You pay nothing unless we win.

Q: Can I file a personal injury claim and receive workers' comp at the same time?

Yes, if someone other than your employer is responsible for your injury, you can pursue a third-party personal injury claim in addition to receiving workers’ compensation benefits.

Q: What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Liability depends on the cause of the crash. Responsible parties may include negligent drivers, vehicle manufacturers, government entities responsible for unsafe road conditions, or even construction contractors who failed to provide proper warnings. An attorney will investigate every potential source of liability.

Q: Will my case go to trial?

Arizona follows a comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages, but your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

Q: Does OSHA need to be notified after a construction accident in Arizona?

Yes. Employers are required to report serious workplace injuries to OSHA. Any fatality must be reported within 8 hours, and any hospitalization, amputation, or eye loss within 24 hours. If your employer failed to do this, it may signal deeper safety violations that could support your injury claim. (OSHA.gov)

“From our initial consultation to our final settlement. Miller, Kory and Rowe was with us every step of the way. Gabe and team kept us abreast of any updates on the case in a timely fashion and were always, often within minutes of an email, to walk us through what was happening in our case or clarify any questions we may have.

MKR’s compassion and thoughtfulness was genuine and was able to ease our minds in what was a difficult time with the passing of our mom.
