Construction Accident Workers’ Compensation Claims
Most of the time, workers’ compensation will pay out to injured construction workers. The benefit of this strategy is that there is no need to assign blame for the mishap that resulted in the injuries. Instead, all we need to show is that you were hurt while working.
After that, we can help you with the preparation of a workers’ compensation claim to pay for your medical expenses, assist with lost income, and assist with recovering a potential permanent disability award.
Accidental Personal Injury Claims in Construction
While you may have a workers’ compensation claim for an injury on the job, you may also have a personal injury claim. An example of this is a third-party claim. If there is a third-party claim, you need an attorney to examine your workplace injuries.
In the event that a third-party claim is made, you may now ask for extra damages that would not be included in workers’ compensation. This could include pain and suffering, damage from emotional discomfort, daycare costs, lost income, wrongful death, and more.
Are Undocumented Workers Eligible for Compensation?
