Knowing Your Legal Rights

You could have several options after an accident on a construction site to seek damages for catastrophic and incapacitating injuries. A knowledgeable Construction Accident Lawyer Queens can determine all of your legal choices, which may include:

  • Personal injury claim: Even if the owners of the construction site or the contractors involved had nothing to do with your accident, you may be able to sue them if you were hurt in one of these accidents.
  • Claim for workers’ compensation: In most cases, construction workers who are hurt on the job have the right to submit a workers’ compensation claim with the insurance provider for their employer. In addition to paying for medical care, workers’ compensation also covers partial wage loss or disability benefits.
  • Social Security Disability (SSD) claim: A worker may also be eligible for benefits if their injuries from a construction site accident have rendered them completely incapacitated from engaging in productive activity.
