Tunstall, P.C.: Un bufete de abogados especializado en accidentes de construcci\u00f3n en Raleigh<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"key-takeaways\"><\/span>Puntos clave<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pregunta cu\u00e1ntos casos de accidentes de construcci\u00f3n ha llevado el abogado a juicio, no solo aquellos que se han resuelto mediante un acuerdo, ya que las aseguradoras fijan el valor de las ofertas de acuerdo de manera diferente una vez que saben que un bufete est\u00e1 preparado para ir a juicio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Un accidente laboral en el sector de la construcci\u00f3n suele dar lugar a dos reclamaciones distintas: la de indemnizaci\u00f3n laboral y la de responsabilidad civil de terceros; sin embargo, algunos abogados solo se enfocan en la primera.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carolina del Norte exige que los acuerdos de honorarios contingentes se hagan por escrito, as\u00ed que aseg\u00farate de que el porcentaje exacto y las condiciones relativas a los gastos est\u00e9n por escrito antes de firmar cualquier documento.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La norma estatal sobre negligencia contributiva puede invalidar por completo tu reclamo si se determina que tienes incluso una m\u00ednima parte de culpa, as\u00ed que pregunta directamente sobre ese riesgo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Averigua qui\u00e9n se encarga de tu expediente en el d\u00eda a d\u00eda, ya que la persona que est\u00e1 frente a ti durante la consulta no siempre es la misma que atiende tus llamadas despu\u00e9s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"has-the-lawyer-tried-accident-cases-in-court\"><\/span>\u00bfHa litigado el abogado casos de accidentes ante los tribunales?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pregunta a cada abogado cu\u00e1ntos casos de accidentes ha llevado a juicio, no solo cu\u00e1ntos ha resuelto mediante un acuerdo. Los ajustadores de seguros pueden negociar de manera muy diferente con un bufete conocido por llevar los casos ante un jurado en el condado de Wake, en comparaci\u00f3n con uno que cede ante la primera oferta. Puedes hacer preguntas espec\u00edficas, como: \u00bfCu\u00e1ntos de esos casos fueron accidentes de construcci\u00f3n? \u00bfCu\u00e1ntos llegaron a un jurado? \u00bfCu\u00e1ntos implicaron una lesi\u00f3n catastr\u00f3fica?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En O\u2019Malley Tunstall, socio <a href=\"https:\/\/omalleytunstall.com\/es\/joseph-p-tunstall-iii\/\">Joseph Tunstall<\/a> cuenta con m\u00e1s de 100 sentencias a favor de los demandantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"will-the-lawyer-look-beyond-your-workers-comp-check\"><\/span>\u00bfEl abogado ver\u00e1 m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de tu cheque de indemnizaci\u00f3n laboral?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La mayor\u00eda de las lesiones en la construcci\u00f3n dan lugar a dos posibles reclamaciones. La indemnizaci\u00f3n por accidentes de trabajo es un sistema sin culpa, que se tramita a trav\u00e9s de la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic.nc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">Comisi\u00f3n Industrial de Carolina del Norte<\/a>, y cubre los gastos m\u00e9dicos y una parte de los salarios perdidos. Paralelamente, se puede presentar una demanda independiente contra un tercero, como un subcontratista, un fabricante de equipos o el propietario del inmueble, que no sea tu empleador. Pregunta directamente si el abogado especializado en accidentes de construcci\u00f3n con el que te vas a reunir tiene previsto investigar ambos casos, y no solo el que sea m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil de presentar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-is-the-lawyer-paid-and-what-happens-if-you-lose\"><\/span>\u00bfC\u00f3mo se le paga al abogado y qu\u00e9 pasa si pierdes el caso?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Casi todos los abogados especializados en accidentes de construcci\u00f3n en Carolina del Norte trabajan a comisi\u00f3n, lo que significa que no tienes que pagar honorarios por adelantado y que no tendr\u00e1s que pagar nada si el caso no resulta en una indemnizaci\u00f3n. Antes de firmar cualquier documento, aseg\u00farate de obtener respuestas claras sobre:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>El porcentaje exacto de los honorarios y si este aumenta en caso de que el caso llegue a juicio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa con los gastos del caso, como los expedientes m\u00e9dicos y los peritos, si no ganas el juicio?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Independientemente de que el acuerdo sea por escrito, lo cual el <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbar.gov\/for-lawyers\/ethics\/rules-of-professional-conduct\/rule-15-fees\/\" target=\"_blank\">Norma 1.5 del C\u00f3digo de Conducta Profesional del Colegio de Abogados del Estado<\/a> requiere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C\u00f3mo se calcula tu recuperaci\u00f3n neta una vez que se pagan los embargos y los costos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Si se te cobrar\u00e1 por la consulta en s\u00ed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al finalizar tu primera reuni\u00f3n, solicita que te entreguen por escrito el acuerdo sobre los honorarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-will-manage-your-file-day-to-day\"><\/span>\u00bfQui\u00e9n se encargar\u00e1 de gestionar tu expediente en el d\u00eda a d\u00eda?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pregunta qui\u00e9n se encargar\u00e1 de tu caso una vez que hayas firmado los documentos. Algunos despachos te presentan a un socio principal en tu primera reuni\u00f3n, pero luego le pasan el expediente a un asistente legal o a un asociado junior a quien nunca has conocido. Eso no es necesariamente un problema, pero mereces saberlo desde el principio, junto con la frecuencia con la que recibir\u00e1s actualizaciones y si podr\u00e1s comunicarte con tu abogado por tel\u00e9fono cuando haya alg\u00fan cambio. Pregunta directamente durante la consulta, antes de firmar: \u00bfUn asistente legal o un asociado se encargar\u00e1 de la mayor parte del trabajo diario? \u00bfEl abogado cuyo nombre figura en la puerta revisar\u00e1 personalmente el expediente en momentos clave, como antes de que se presente una oferta de conciliaci\u00f3n?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-if-the-accident-was-partly-your-fault\"><\/span>\u00bfY si el accidente fuera en parte culpa tuya?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una regla puede poner fin a tu caso antes de que comience, sin importar c\u00f3mo haya ocurrido el accidente. Seg\u00fan la doctrina de la negligencia contributiva de Carolina del Norte, el hecho de que se te considere responsable, aunque sea en un 1%, puede impedir que obtengas alguna indemnizaci\u00f3n en una demanda por lesiones personales. Pregunta c\u00f3mo planea el abogado investigar la escena del accidente y documentar cualquier violaci\u00f3n de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/construction\">Normas de seguridad en la construcci\u00f3n de la OSHA<\/a>, preservar las pruebas y registrar los testimonios de los testigos antes de que la versi\u00f3n de la compa\u00f1\u00eda de seguros sea la \u00fanica que se escuche. Nota: la negligencia contributiva no tiene importancia en una reclamaci\u00f3n de indemnizaci\u00f3n laboral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-will-they-communicate-with-you\"><\/span>\u00bfC\u00f3mo se comunicar\u00e1n contigo?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los problemas de comunicaci\u00f3n se encuentran entre las quejas m\u00e1s comunes que plantean los clientes sobre la representaci\u00f3n en casos de lesiones personales. Antes de firmar, pregunta:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Con qu\u00e9 frecuencia recibir\u00e1s una actualizaci\u00f3n importante, no solo un correo electr\u00f3nico autom\u00e1tico<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Si puedes llamar directamente a tu abogado o solo a un administrador de casos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C\u00f3mo suele ser el tiempo de respuesta habitual si la compa\u00f1\u00eda de seguros se pone en contacto contigo directamente<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Si se le consultar\u00e1 antes de que se acepte o rechace, en su nombre, cualquier oferta de acuerdo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"additional-questions-you-may-have-before-you-hire-a-construction-accident-lawyer\"><\/span>Preguntas adicionales que tal vez tengas antes de contratar a un abogado especializado en accidentes de construcci\u00f3n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo tengo para presentar una demanda despu\u00e9s de un accidente de construcci\u00f3n en Carolina del Norte?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por lo general, tienes tres a\u00f1os a partir de la fecha del accidente para presentar una demanda por lesiones contra terceros en virtud de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/EnactedLegislation\/Statutes\/HTML\/BySection\/Chapter_1\/GS_1-52.html\" target=\"_blank\">C\u00f3digo General de Carolina del Norte, \u00a7 1-52<\/a>. El proceso de indemnizaci\u00f3n laboral sigue un plazo distinto y m\u00e1s corto, y la ley estatal exige que informes la lesi\u00f3n a tu empleador por escrito en un plazo de 30 d\u00edas. Si no cumples con cualquiera de estos plazos, podr\u00edas perder por completo el derecho a la indemnizaci\u00f3n, as\u00ed que no esperes para hablar con alguien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si mi empleador no tiene seguro de compensaci\u00f3n laboral?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A\u00fan as\u00ed, puedes presentar una demanda por lesiones directamente contra tu empleador en lugar de solicitar una indemnizaci\u00f3n por accidente laboral. La mayor\u00eda de las empresas de Carolina del Norte con tres o m\u00e1s empleados est\u00e1n obligadas a contar con una cobertura, y carecer de ella elimina algunas de las protecciones legales que normalmente protegen a los empleadores de las demandas. Un abogado puede ayudarte a determinar cu\u00e1l es la mejor opci\u00f3n para tu situaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfPuedo presentar una demanda contra el contratista general si no era su empleado directo?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S\u00ed, en muchos casos s\u00ed puedes, ya que los contratistas generales y los subcontratistas suelen tener un deber de cuidado hacia todas las personas presentes en la obra, no solo hacia sus propios equipos de trabajo. Este es precisamente el tipo de reclamo contra terceros que se presenta en paralelo a un reclamo de indemnizaci\u00f3n laboral, en lugar de reemplazarlo. Vale la pena consultar con un abogado para identificar a todas las partes que podr\u00edan compartir la responsabilidad antes de dar por sentado que solo tienes una opci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfUna infracci\u00f3n de la OSHA prueba autom\u00e1ticamente mi caso?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, una multa ayuda, pero por s\u00ed sola no resuelve el caso. Es una prueba s\u00f3lida de que se infringi\u00f3 una norma de seguridad, y ese expediente suele convertirse m\u00e1s adelante en una prueba clave. A\u00fan as\u00ed, tendr\u00e1s que relacionar la infracci\u00f3n directamente con la forma en que te lesionaste, lo cual es una raz\u00f3n m\u00e1s por la que la investigaci\u00f3n del caso es importante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si mis lesiones son tan graves que no puedo volver a trabajar?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si una lesi\u00f3n sufrida en la construcci\u00f3n te deja incapacitado de forma permanente para trabajar, es posible que tengas derecho a <a href=\"https:\/\/omalleytunstall.com\/es\/raleigh\/abogado-especializado-en-discapacidad-de-la-seguridad-social\/\">Seguro Social por discapacidad<\/a> Las prestaciones del SSD (Seguro Social por Discapacidad) se suman a cualquier indemnizaci\u00f3n por lesiones. Se trata de un proceso federal independiente, con su propio sistema de solicitudes y apelaciones, que se tramita por una v\u00eda distinta a la de su reclamaci\u00f3n por lesiones. Nuestra firma se encarga de las solicitudes y apelaciones del SSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"omalley-tunstall-pc-a-raleigh-construction-accident-law-firm\"><\/span>O\u2019Malley Tunstall, P.C.: Un bufete de abogados especializado en accidentes de construcci\u00f3n en Raleigh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contratar a un abogado despu\u00e9s de un accidente de construcci\u00f3n se reduce a encontrar a alguien que investigue todo, no solo el papeleo sencillo antes de que llegue el cheque.
