Elements of a Successful Construction Accident Claim | Proving Liability
Construction accidents are complicated. There are several factors that must be considered to determine who could be at fault for your injuries. Some of those factors include:
- Whether the accident occurred at a private residence or a commercial site
- Whether you are an employee or a subcontractor
- Whether there were any OSHA violations
- Whether there were any WISHA violations
Elements of a Successful Construction Accident Claim | Receiving Workers’ Compensation
If you’re a construction worker and you’re hurt on the job site, you could be entitled to workers’ compensation if you are an employee. If your employer uses L&I, you could be entitled to receive medical coverage, lost income, the cost of your medicine, travel expenses, property damage, and either permanent or temporary disability.
However, filing a workers’ compensation claim doesn’t mean that you’ll be treated fairly. A lawyer can help ensure that you get the compensation that you deserve for your injuries. We can help you gather your paperwork and prepare to present your claim so that you are fairly compensated.
