Mike was injured on a construction site — and like a lot of workers, he thought he’d just have to settle for workers’ comp and move on. But one call to Kari Law Group changed everything.

👇 Here’s what he had to say:

“Everyone kept saying that’s just how it goes — get patched up, miss a few paychecks, move on. But Michelle took the time to explain my rights and actually listened. She fought for me when no one else would. If you’re hurt on the job and not sure what to do — call her. Just call.”

What Are Seven Most Common Construction Site injuries?

From building new homes, to keeping infrastructure up-to-date and safe – construction workers play an essential role in making our country the forefront of progress. 

Without them, we wouldn’t have cities bustling with life or industry that moves us forward each day!

In 2021, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics gave us a startling statistic: over two and a half million workers in private industry suffered from accidents or illnesses – testifying to precisely how challenging life on the job can be! 

In many instances, injured construction workers and their families will be eligible for substantial compensation. Accidents on construction sites are extremely common. Construction sites are among the most hazardous workplaces in the nation, and construction workers are injured every day. When construction injury occurs, workers and their families can frequently file claims for damages.

Types Of Recoverable Compensation in Construction Injury Claims

When construction workers and their families have accident-related losses covered by workers’ compensation, they can seek full coverage. This includes both financial and non-financial losses, as well as current and prospective losses. Examples of recoverable construction accident damages in a typical case include:

Medical Bills

Injured construction workers and their family members can seek fair compensation for accident-related medical expenses. This includes the costs of emergency room care, diagnostic testing, surgery, and all other forms of treatment. Since injured construction workers can seek coverage for future medical expenses, it is imperative not to accept any settlement money until you know how much you will need to pay for future medical expenses.

Other Out-Of-Pocket Expenses

In addition to current and future medical expenses, injured construction workers and their family members can seek compensation for other out-of-pocket costs. This covers all costs associated with the accident, including:

Prescriptions

Medical supplies

Transportation

Home and vehicle modifications

Loss of Income and Benefits

Injured construction workers have the right to seek compensation for the loss of income and benefits they incurred as a result of their construction injury, and eligible family members have the right to seek compensation for the loss of income and benefits that their deceased loved one incurred prior to their death. This includes remuneration in the form of wages or salary, health insurance coverage, contributions to a health savings account (HSA), paid time off (PTO), retirement contributions, and all other types of benefits.

Loss of Earning Capacity

Injured construction workers who are unable to return to work as a result of injuries sustained in an accident are entitled to fair compensation for the loss of earning capacity they have sustained as a result of the accident. Workers in the construction industry have the option to file claims for loss of earning capacity if they anticipate having to take a job with a lower salary as a result of their injuries. Additionally, family members who have lost loved ones because of fatal accidents at construction sites are able to file claims for loss of earning capacity.

Pain and Suffering

Damages for the plaintiff’s pain and suffering are included among the recoverable damages in a construction injury lawsuit. Damages can be quite substantial, and in most cases, they will make up most of the compensation paid out to seriously injured construction workers.

Emotional Trauma/Post-Traumatic Stress

Workers in the construction industry who sustain severe traumatic injuries are eligible to seek compensation for emotional trauma as well. The term “post-traumatic stress” or “post-traumatic stress disorder” may also be used to refer to this condition (PTSD). Families who have lost a loved one due to fatal injuries sustained in a construction accident can seek compensation for their loved one’s emotional trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) prior to their death.

Conclusion

A personal injury can be a harrowing experience, even fatal. In 2017 alone, there were 971 construction worker fatalities, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published on its website, them quoting a Bureau of Labor Standards report.
