If your loved one suffered a serious brain injury and has died as a result of the construction accident, I can file a wrongful death lawsuit on their behalf.
Worker's Compensation and Construction Accidents
As a construction worker, if you are injured on the job you are entitled to workers' comp. Worker's compensation has limitations. For example, you are generally not able to directly file a personal injury lawsuit against your employer for the construction accident. Instead, this would depend on whether you are entitled to seek additional compensation against a negligent third party.
However, benefits under workman's comp do include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost earnings and wages
- Permanent or partial disability benefits
Additional Compensation for Construction Site Injuries
Construction accidents can be complicated due to the fact that there are often many parties involved in one incident. There can be multiple parties at fault, not just an employer. This is why you may be entitled to additional compensation by way of a personal injury suit against third parties. For example, machinery/equipment failure could be due to a subcontracting operator or the fault of the manufacturer. In addition to medical bills, lost wages and rehabilitation costs, you would be able to seek pain and suffering compensation.
