Workers injured on a worksite in a construction accident are often referred to a construction accident lawyer recommended by the union. But should I use a union lawyer for a construction accident case who may owe allegiances to the union and the construction company?
Is that a good idea? Is a lawyer referred by the union biased? Should I use my own independent construction accident lawyer? We provide the information here so you can decide if you would rather have your own independent construction accident lawyer.

When you have a construction accident like this, you need the right independent construction accident lawyer on your side
