1. What should I do after a construction accident?
After a construction accident, your first priority should be your health and safety. Seek immediate medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. Report the incident to your employer and make sure it is properly documented. If possible, collect evidence such as photos and witness details. Avoid speaking in detail with insurance companies without legal advice. Consulting a construction accident lawyer at FARM INJURY LAW FIRM can help you understand your rights and ensure you receive fair compensation.
2. Can I file a claim beyond workers’ compensation?
Yes, in many cases, injured workers can file a third-party claim in addition to workers’ compensation. While workers’ compensation covers medical expenses and lost wages, it may not fully cover all damages. If another party, such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer, is responsible, you may be entitled to additional compensation. The experienced construction lawyers at FARM INJURY LAW FIRM can review your case and guide you through the best legal options.
