Seeking Compensation as an Injured Construction Worker
For the most part, employees are prohibited by law from suing their employers over a workplace injury. State law instead requires injured employees to seek compensation through a workers’ compensation insurance claim. (If a workplace accident resulted in death, a surviving loved one may be eligible to file a claim on the decedent’s behalf.) When approved, the claimant will be entitled to compensation for their financial, or economic damages. This may include:- Hospital bills
- Emergency room visits
- Follow-up doctor’s visits
- Current and future lost wages
- Vocational training
When Can You Sue for a Construction Accident?
If you were injured as a passerby, you may sue the person or company at fault for the construction accident. Injured construction workers may also sue if their employer harmed them intentionally or if a third party was responsible for the accident. Third-party claims differ from workers’ comp claims in two ways:- You will need to prove that another’s negligence was at fault for the accident; and
- You can recover both economic damages, like medical bills, and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering.
Potential Liable Third Parties in a Construction Accident Claim
Third parties commonly at fault for construction accidents include:- General contractors
- Equipment and product manufacturers
- Property owners
- Property management companies
- Motorists driving by or through a construction site
