Workers Compensation for a Construction Accident

If you’re injured on the job, there’s a good chance that you can make a claim through workers compensation. The workers compensation system covers medical bills for your injuries. You can receive vocational rehabilitation and physical therapy at no cost to you. To receive your benefits, you must make a claim. You can also receive payment to make up for lost income for the period that you’re unable to work even for long-term injuries. Workers compensation is available for most workers who are hurt while working in construction.

There’s no requirement that you prove that the employer is at fault for the accident. However, there is still important work to do to get all the payments that you deserve. Our Colorado Springs construction accident attorneys make sure your medical bills are fully covered and that you’re compensated for lost income as required under the law. Our team works with clients to facilitate their workers compensation claims and fight back against tactics that may result in a victim getting less than they deserve.

Negligence Lawsuit for a Construction Accident

A workers compensation claim may not be your only avenue to receive financial relief for a construction accident. You may qualify to bring a third-party claim. There may be someone other than your employer who is responsible for your injuries. These kinds of claims are based on the other party doing something to cause the accident through negligent behavior.

If you qualify to bring a negligence lawsuit, you may claim pain and suffering. Injuries in a construction accident claim are often catastrophic. The amount of pain and suffering that you can claim may be significant. Our team can help you value the negligence claim and handle the complex issues that may be involved when you have both a workers compensation claim and a negligence claim.
