  4. COMPENSATION FOR INJURED CONSTRUCTION WORKERS In the aftermath of a serious construction accident, employers may promise to take care of you until you are well enough to return to work. Unfortunately, the longer you are out of work and collecting benefits from Workers’ Compensation, the more your employer is likely to look upon you as an expense that needs to be controlled.

  5. Whenever you suffer a serious injury, protect yourself by putting your case in the hands of an experienced attorney as soon as possible. They will go to work immediately to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits you are due for as long as you are injured. Workers’ Compensation pays benefits regardless of who was at fault for your injury.

  6. WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INJURY? In most cases, you do not have the right to sue your employer, except in cases of extreme negligence. However, if your injury was caused by the negligence of someone who does not work for your employer, you may have the right to collect additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party. These are known as third-party claims.
