Options for Financial Compensation After Being Hurt in a Construction Accident

After you have been hurt in a construction accident, you may have a couple of options for obtaining compensation for your injuries. If you are a construction worker hurt on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from your employer, which can include:

• Medical benefits, which cover the cost of medical treatment of a work injury or occupational illness
• Wage-loss benefits, which provides temporary partial reimbursement of wages if you miss time from work or earn less income than you did prior to your work injury or occupational illness because of your injury or illness
• Specific loss benefits, which offers financial compensation for the loss of a body part or permanent loss of use of a body part or bodily function, or for a serious, permanent disfigurement

As a construction worker hurt on the job due to a third party’s negligence, or as a bystander injured by a construction site accident, you may also have the right to file a personal injury claim to pursue financial recovery for:

• Costs of medical care and rehabilitation
• Costs of long-term care and support services for permanent disability or impairment
• Full reimbursement of lost wages or loss of future earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Reduced quality of life due to disability, scarring/disfigurement, or loss of life expectancy
