Maximize Your Compensation by Seeking Third-Party Compensation 

When you suffer a construction worker injury, you may be able to seek compensation in both a worker’s compensation claim as well as a third-party personal injury claim. Workers’ compensation benefits cover: 

  • The cost of medical treatment 
  • Part of your lost wages
  • Disability benefits 

If a third-party (other than your employer) was responsible for your accident, you may also be eligible to file a personal injury claim against the third-party. Seeking compensation in a personal injury claim will result in compensation that is much more than anything you may receive in a workers’ compensation claim. Personal injury claims will give you access to benefits such as: 

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of the capacity to earn 
  • Pain and suffering 
  • Emotional and psychological distress
  • Loss of consortium and many other benefits

I am a worker at a construction site. Can I get workers’ compensation and file a personal injury claim for compensation for my injuries?

Yes. You are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if you have suffered a construction site accident as a worker. You may also be able to file a third-party personal injury claim against a third-party (other than your employer) who was responsible for your injuries. For example, if you were injured as a result of using faulty equipment, you may file a third-party lawsuit against the manufacturers of the equipment or the faulty parts.

Filing a third-party claim can be complicated. Unlike seeking workers’ compensation, you will need to prove fault in a third-party lawsuit. It is therefore advisable to seek the representation of an experienced attorney.
