Nationwide accident support
Construction incidents can involve several parties
Falls from height, ladder incidents, struck-by events, equipment failures and vehicle accidents on a jobsite can raise different questions. Because responsibilities and workers’ compensation systems vary by state, accurate information about the site and companies involved can be especially useful.

Preserve incident documentation

Talk nowIs a construction accident always only a workers’ compensation matter?+
Not necessarily. Facts can involve employers and sometimes third parties. A licensed attorney in the relevant state can explain which systems or claims may apply.
What if I work for a subcontractor?+
Include both your employer and the names of the general contractor or other companies on the project, if known.
Should I take photos of the jobsite?+
Only if it is safe and permitted. Never place yourself in danger or interfere with an investigation to collect evidence.
Can I contact Accident Connect USA from any state?+
Yes. The initial support is nationwide, while available independent providers and applicable rules vary by location.
