You know that working in construction can be dangerous, which is why you do as much as you can to stay safe. But despite your best efforts, you were still received on-the-job injuries. The accident wasn’t your fault, yet you are the person who has to deal with the pain, doctor’s appointments, and everything else that goes along with caring for an injury. Workers’ compensation is designed to cover some of the expenses related to your injury, which may lessen some of the stress you are experiencing.

What Workers’ Comp Typically Covers for Construction Injuries

• Doctor’s examinations
• Diagnostic testing
• Medications
• Lost wages
• Specific loss, such as hearing or vision loss
• Scarring
• Equipment needed for treatment
• Death benefits

Workers’ compensation may cover more than you know about. If your claim is denied, contact an experienced attorney to find out why, and to try to get you the compensation you deserve. If not, you may end up paying for more than you should—receiving less than you are owed. The insurance company has lawyers working for them to get out of paying you what they should. It’s time for you to have a lawyer on your side, too.
