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.

He and his team not only mastered the complex issues in the case, but also expertly handled all aspects of the negotiations. I cannot thank Michael enough for his dedication and hard work, and I highly recommend him and The Epstein Law Firm for those who need smart, creative, and aggressive lawyers who put their clients’ interests first.
