If you have been injured while at work on a construction site, you are entitled to limited benefits through workers' compensation. What you may not know is that you may be able to file an additional personal injury claim. And unlike workers' comp claims, there is no cap on the amount of compensation you could receive from a personal injury claim.
At the Delventhal Law Office LLC, our Fort Wayne construction accidents attorney can help you explore your full range of recovery options. Dedicated to protecting injured construction workers across northeast Indiana, we understand your rights and the full range of recovery options available to you.
Protect Your Rights and Get the Compensation You Deserve
Construction workers building everything from residential homes to commercial projects face numerous risks every day while on the job. When you are working with heavy equipment, such as large steel beams and cranes, even a small mishap can lead to major injuries. If something breaks, your hand or arm could be crushed instantly. Our firm handles all types of construction accidents resulting in a wide range of injuries, including:
- Back injuries
- Severed limbs
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Torn ligaments
- Broken bones
If you have been injured while on the job, you are entitled to benefits through workers' compensation. And while you cannot sue your employer, you still may be eligible for a personal injury claim above and beyond workers' comp. If someone besides your employer was responsible for the conditions that led to your accident, you may be able to make a personal injury claim.
Handling both personal injury and workers' compensation claims, our lawyer will be ready to help you explore your full range of recovery options and make sure you leave nothing on the table. Since we take all claims on a contingency basis, you will not have to worry about legal fees until your case is finished.
