Worker’s compensation policies tend to be strict in how they cover injuries, where you can receive treatment, and the maximum amount of lost wages you can claim while you recover. Seeking a workers’ comp claim as appropriate to your injury circumstances is almost always a good idea, but injury victims must often look elsewhere to cover all their resulting damages.
If you need additional sources of compensation to repay all damages, your construction accident attorney can help you pursue all available legal avenues. Larger companies, such as construction contract purchasers or commercial property owners, tend to have more resources available for compensating accident victims than the average workers’ comp policy.
If the injury victim’s incident was caused by negligence or a defective product, looking to these types of claims can increase the chances of fully recovering all available damages — as opposed to being left in debt by injuries that were no fault of your own.
