Construction
A worker’s comp attorney can be invaluable for construction employees, given the inherently hazardous nature of their job.
01.
Filing claims:
A construction worker’s comp attorney helps construction workers file their worker’s compensation claims correctly, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is completed and submitted on time to avoid delays or denials.
02.
Maximizing benefits:
Worker’s comp attorneys work to secure the maximum benefits available under worker’s compensation laws, which might include coverage for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs and lost wages.
03.
Appealing denied claims:
If a worker’s claim is denied, a worker’s comp attorney can help appeal the decision. This process can involve gathering additional evidence, representing the worker in hearings and negotiating with insurance companies.
04.
Navigating complicated cases:
Construction injuries can be complicated, involving multiple parties, such as subcontractors, equipment manufacturers and/or site owners. A worker’s comp attorney can navigate these complexities to ensure the worker is fairly compensated.
05.
Protection against retaliation:
A worker’s comp attorney can protect workers from employer retaliation, which may include firing, demotion or other forms of workplace discrimination after filing a claim.
06.
Third-party claims:
If the workplace injury was caused by a third party (for example, defective equipment), a worker’s comp attorney might help the worker pursue a separate personal injury lawsuit in addition to the worker’s comp claim.
07.
Advising on settlements:
An attorney can provide guidance on whether to accept a settlement offer or proceed to a hearing or trial, ensuring the worker’s long-term interests are protected.
08.
Legal representation:
In case the claim goes to court, the attorney will represent the worker, presenting the case to a judge or jury to fight for appropriate compensation.
