Florida Construction Accident Statistics & Local Trends
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently published its data related to work injuries suffered in Florida in 2023.

Members of the foundation, structure, and building exterior contractors sub‑industry saw the highest number of fatal injuries.
What To Do If You’re Hurt
on a Construction Site
Seek a medical professional’s help immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. They could worsen over time, and early documentation could prove critical.
Notify your employer or supervisor as required and as soon as you’re able.
Take photos of the scene, equipment, hazardous conditions, or safety issues that contributed to the accident.
Insurance adjusters are not on your side. Your employer’s legal representatives may attempt to minimize your claim.
Chanfrau & Chanfrau can handle your workers’ compensation claim and also pursue third-party lawsuits if a negligent party not on your employer’s payroll caused the harm.
Frequently Asked Questions for Our Construction Accident Lawyers in Daytona Beach, FL
How much time do I have to file a claim?
In most cases, Florida’s statute of limitations for civil personal injury claims gives you two years from the date of accident to file. This applies to both work-related injuries and suffered by bystanders. These deadlines are strict, so act quickly with the help of a lawyer.
Can I file a claim even if my employer is self‑insured?
Yes. Florida workers’ compensation laws still allow you to file claims even if your employer handles their own workers’ comp claims, typically up to $400K coverage. We can also pursue third-party liability claims against negligent contractors or equipment suppliers.
What kinds of compensation can I seek?
After a construction accident, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost income, reduced earning capacity, disability or disfigurement, and pain and suffering.
When will I speak to my attorney directly?
At Chanfrau & Chanfrau, you will always have direct access to your attorney and will speak with them on day one. We pride ourselves on personal service and individualized attention.
