Why Construction Jobs Are Some Of America’s Most Dangerous
Out of all of the American industries, construction workers often do much more manual labor in dangerous environments. Catastrophic accidents can happen anywhere at any time for many reasons, including:
- Machinery complications with cranes, backhoes, excavators and forklifts
- Power tool malfunction with saws, grinders and welding equipment
- Scaffolding collapse
- Falling from extreme heights in unsecured spaces
- Long-term toxic chemical exposure
- Lack of training and experience
- Overexertion and repetitive strain
Whether it is an injury or illness, our attorneys at Phillips Froetschel will help victims of workplace injuries.
Workers’ Compensation Eligibility For Construction Workers
To be eligible for workers’ compensation after a construction site accident, workers must meet certain conditions. For starters, there must be proof that an injury was sustained while the employee was working. Injured construction workers are also expected to meet a few deadlines, including filing for a workplace injury within one year or three years for illnesses.
If a claim is successful, a construction worker can obtain medical coverage, lost wage benefits and other benefits within a few weeks. Some issues could delay workers’ compensation benefits, such as if a claim is denied. Our lawyers at Phillips Froetschel can help injured construction workers file for workers’ compensation benefits and appeal denials for faster recovery.
