Construction Liability and Workers’ Compensation

If you are employed at the construction site where your accident occurred and the responsible party is your employer, you may be limited to a workers’ compensation claim for your injuries. Workers’ compensation law restricts the amount of recovery available to workers who are injured on the job and prohibits employees from suing their employers. If, however, another party shares responsibility for your accident, you may have a third-party cause of action in addition to your workers’ compensation claim. In order to get the maximum recovery for your injuries, you must pursue all avenues of compensation.
