A claim may involve workers’ compensation, third-party liability, or a combination, depending on who is at fault and how the accident occurred.
A construction accident claim seeks compensation for medical costs, rehabilitation, lost wages, and other damages resulting from on-site injuries.
Key elements include establishing liability, gathering evidence, filing the appropriate claims, negotiating with insurers, and pursuing a lawsuit if needed.
