This is a good option for many workers. It allows you to pay your medical bills and receive about two-thirds of your normal pay when you are out of work (with some restrictions). However, it may not cover all your damages, especially if you were severely injured and have permanent pain or disability. Some people prefer to file a worker’s comp claim anyway because it allows them to recover at least some of their damages without a lengthy and stressful trial where they have to prove fault. However, others would rather file a suit seeking compensation for all their damages, which can include non-economic costs not figured in worker’s comp claims, such as pain and suffering. Every situation is different, and only you can determine the best path for you to seek compensation. But a construction accident lawyer can explain your options, answer your questions, and help you execute whatever plan you make.
