Do You File for Workers’ Compensation Benefits or a Personal Injury Claim?

When you initially contact a construction accident law firm in New York, you must specify the type of accident that caused your injuries. For example, were you a construction worker or other employee on the job at the time of the accident?

If the answer is yes, your next step is to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. All construction companies and contractors with employees must carry a state-mandated minimum of workers’ compensation insurance to cover medical expenses and lost income for employees injured on the job.

Our New York City Construction Accident Lawyers understand the nuances of the laws governing injuries sustained on construction sites. If you have questions about the specifics of your case, an attorney can help you understand your legal options.

Personal Injury Lawsuits For Construction Accidents

Personal injury lawsuits involving construction accidents are only pursued in certain situations. First, non-employees injured in a construction accident can file a lawsuit against the company. Second, certain workers’ compensation policies allow injured employees to file personal injury lawsuits in certain situations.

To win a personal injury lawsuit, an injured worker must prove that the employer’s negligence caused the accident. To prove negligence, the worker must demonstrate that the construction company owed a duty of care to them. The plaintiff must prove the defendant breached that duty and that the breach caused the injury.
