Who We Serve
Construction-Site Injuries Need a Specialist.
Falls from height, scaffold collapses, struck-by and caught-in injuries — construction wrecks are usually workers' comp PLUS a third-party claim. We handle both.
Why Marker Law
Workers' Comp Is Only Half the Story
If a general contractor, subcontractor or equipment owner contributed to your construction-site injury, you may have a third-party negligence claim on top of your workers' comp benefits — meaning pain-and-suffering damages your comp claim alone cannot cover. Marker Law pursues both tracks at once.
- Falls from scaffolds, ladders and elevated work surfaces
- Struck-by-falling-object and crane-load injuries
- Trench collapse and confined-space accidents
- Electrical, burn and chemical-exposure injuries
- Third-party general-contractor negligence claims

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers to the questions Marker Law clients ask most often about this topic.
Yes — from day one, whether full-time, seasonal, day-labor, or union. Independent contractors are usually not covered, but misclassification is common on construction sites and Marker Law can challenge it.
Yes. Workers' comp generally bars suits against your direct employer, but a 'third-party' personal injury case against a different contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner is often available — and often produces a much larger recovery.
Falls from heights, crush injuries, electrocutions, struck-by-object injuries, scaffold collapses, trench cave-ins, hand and back injuries from repetitive trauma, and chemical exposure cases.
Yes. OSHA citations and inspection reports are often admissible as evidence of unsafe conditions, and they can powerfully support both workers' comp claims and third-party negligence cases. Marker Law obtains them as part of standard case prep.
Yes. Illinois workers' compensation applies regardless of immigration status. The firm protects client confidentiality and has long served immigrant trade workers.
