With the complex relationships between contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and other workers on a construction site, it can be confusing to know what your rights are or how to proceed when you or a loved one is injured on the job.
How will I pay my medical bills after a construction site accident? Under South Carolina workers' compensation laws, employees are entitled to file a claim against an employer's workers' compensation policy in order to recover for medical expenses, lost wages and other expenses related to their injuries. If the accident was caused by the negligence of a third party, the individual may also have a claim against that third party for damages.
Does workman's comp protect me? Due to the severe nature of construction site accidents, it is common for an accident to result in permanent injuries and disabilities and even wrongful death. Construction workers who fall from the roof or collapsed scaffolding can suffer a brain or spinal cord injury, or worse. A worker can suffer the loss of a limb (amputation) or a severe burn injury when equipment malfunctions. Unfortunately, in these types of situations, workers' compensation insurance companies will attempt to avoid their responsibility of compensating for the long term affects suffered by the construction accident victim and the victim's family.
However, at Hoffman Law Firm, we know the law and we will fight to get you all of the benefits you deserve as fast as possible. We also know that in any given accident, there are multiple potential sources of liability compensation that you may be entitled to beyond workers' compensation. It takes experience, thorough investigation and determination to identify those sources and prepare a compelling claim for recovery.
