Construction sites are full of potential hazards that can lead to serious accidents. Workers face many risks, and injuries can happen in an instant. A few examples of common types of construction accidents include:
Accidents on construction sites can lead to a wide range of injuries, many of which have long-lasting effects that may inhibit a worker’s ability to work in the future. The following injuries are some examples of the most likely to occur due to the dangerous nature of construction work:
If you suffered an injury on a construction site, you have legal rights that can help offset the financial impact of the injury. In South Carolina, many construction workers are covered by their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. The workers’ compensation system provides benefits that cover reasonable and necessary medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. It provides these benefits regardless of fault. In turn, injured workers usually may not sue their employers for compensation based on the employer’s negligence.
Workers’ comp claims often come with limits, including paying only a portion of lost income and not compensating employees at all for their pain and suffering. Additionally, employers and insurers may delay, deny, or undervalue valid claims. Having our Greenville construction accident attorneys in your corner can go a long way toward protecting your legal right to the benefits you’re owed.
Injured construction workers may be able to pursue additional compensation through third-party personal injury claims in some cases. If your accident was caused by someone other than your employer or a co-worker – such as a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer – you may have grounds for a third-party lawsuit in addition to your workers’ compensation claim. Successful third-party personal injury claims allow you to seek money from other responsible parties for the full extent of your lost wages, plus pain, suffering, and other losses not covered by workers’ comp. Our lawyers can identify potential third-party claims and fight for the full recovery you deserve.
Following a job-related injury on a construction site, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation to help you recover from the financial impact of your injuries, including workers’ compensation benefits. The amount and types of compensation depend on the specifics of your case, including whether you file for workers’ comp or pursue a third-party claim.
Some common types of compensation you may be able to recover after a construction site accident include:
