Frequently Asked Questions About Construction-Site-Accident Claims
What Should I Do Right After a Construction Site Accident?
- Your initial attention should always be on your medical needs. In many instances, the best thing to do is stay where you are until emergency medical personnel arrive. Defer to their expertise, but seek medical care as soon as possible, whether at an ER, urgent care facility, or doctor’s office. The longer you delay medical treatment, the greater the risk of complications, and the greater the chances your legal claims will be affected.
- Hire an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as you can. Your lawyer will quickly gather and preserve all critical evidence and get witness statements. Your attorney can also be an intermediary with insurance companies, helping you get the benefits you need.
- If you can do so without putting yourself at further risk, get contact information from anyone present at the time of the accident. In addition, use your cellphone camera to take pictures of everything, from the scene of the accident to the extent of your injuries.
What Damages Can I Expect to Recover After a Construction Site Accident?
After a workplace injury, you have a right to seek workers’ compensation benefits, which cover lost wages, as well as reasonable and necessary medical expenses related to the accident. If your injuries are caused, in whole or in part, by someone other than your employer or a co-employee, you can also file a civil lawsuit for:
- Any lost wages or income not covered by workers’ comp
- Unreimbursed medical expenses
- Physical pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship or consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life—the ability to engage in the normal activities of daily life and do things you enjoyed doing before the accident
