5 Reasons You Need a Spanish-Speaking Construction Lawyer
If you are a Spanish-speaking construction worker who has suffered a job site injury, it's crucial that you have a construction lawyer who speaks Spanish fluently. Here are five reasons why:
-
Language Barrier
The language barrier is one of Spanish-speaking construction workers' most significant challenges. If you don't speak English fluently, it can be difficult to understand the requirements of the legal system and communicate effectively with insurance companies, employers, and opposing attorneys. A Spanish-speaking lawyer can ensure that you fully understand your rights, the legal process, and the details of your case. This can help you make informed decisions every step of the way.
-
Cultural Understanding
In addition to language, cultural differences can also create barriers in the legal process. A Spanish-speaking attorney from the same cultural background as you will better understand the specifics of your situation, enabling them to provide you with more personalized and culturally sensitive representation. They can appreciate the challenges and pressures Spanish-speaking construction workers face, which can be invaluable in building a strong case on your behalf.
-
Construction Law Experience
Construction injury cases may involve multiple parties and confusing regulations. A Spanish-speaking attorney with experience in construction law will understand relevant statutes, safety codes, and the New York labor law. This experience allows them to determine what violations may have led to your injury and what party to hold responsible. They can convey this information to you so you can understand your rights and secure the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
-
Be Able to Tell Your Story Clearly
Your lawyer will need to know all the details of how your accident occurred, the job site conditions, the instructions you were given, the safety equipment provided, and more. Being able to explain them precisely in Spanish will allow you to convey your story clearly and avoid misunderstandings.
-
Personalized Attention
When you work with a Spanish-speaking construction injury attorney, you can expect personalized attention and a level of care that may be lacking from larger, impersonal law firms. These attorneys often have a deep commitment to serving the Hispanic community and will take the time to understand your unique circumstances, concerns, and goals. They will be your advocate, guiding you through the legal process and ensuring your voice is heard.

Our client, Alex V., was a welder who got seriously injured on a construction site. He says, “As an alien in this country, I was afraid of contacting anyone about my accident. I wasn't familiar with my legal rights and one of my co-workers told me to talk to a lawyer at Hofmann & Schweitzer. They had Spanish speaking people at their office who helped me and kept me informed during the process. I was happy how the matter was resolved.”
