Can I File a Workers’ Comp Claim After a Construction Accident?
Yes, you can, but only if you were an employee at the construction company and the accident happened while you were on shift. Workers' comp provides benefits such as medical expenses and a portion of lost wages, regardless of fault. This is typically the first avenue for seeking compensation for on-the-job injuries.
Can I File a Lawsuit After a Construction Accident?
A lawsuit might be on the cards if a third party's negligence contributed to the incident. Unlike workers' compensation, a lawsuit allows you to seek additional damages, including pain and suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life.
Can I File a Lawsuit and a Workers’ Compensation Claim After a Construction Accident?
Yes, it’s possible to pursue both a workers' compensation claim and a lawsuit. This is known as a "third-party lawsuit" and involves seeking compensation from a party other than your employer, such as a negligent contractor or equipment manufacturer.
What Damages Can I Recover if I File a Workers’ Comp Claim?
Workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance that typically covers medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and a percentage of lost wages. It doesn't, however, include damages for pain and suffering or punitive damages. If you suffered those damages, a skilled attorney can help determine other ways to pursue additional compensation.
What Damages Can I Recover if I File a Lawsuit?
Away from the workers’ comp claim, a lawsuit allows you to seek a broader range of damages. These include but are not limited to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, diminished quality of life and potentially punitive damages if the responsible party's actions were particularly negligent.
How Can a Lawyer Help Me in Such a Case?
A Tallahassee construction accident attorney from Morgan and Morgan can help evaluate the specifics of your case. If valid, they’ll guide you on whether to pursue a workers' comp claim, a lawsuit, or both. They can also help gather evidence, identify liability (in the case of a lawsuit), and negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
Your Pain Is Worth Something. Fight for It.
You should not suffer in vain after a construction accident caused by someone else’s negligence. You may be entitled to some form of compensation to make you feel whole again. Fill out this form today to find out if your case qualifies.
