However, many states workers' compensation laws
may severely limit recovery for a construction site accident. State
laws that preclude an employee from suing an employer also generally
limit the employee to a workers' compensation system which may not
provide compensation for pain and suffering.
Many of these compensation laws may place specific limits on how long
an injured worker may collect benefits, even if the worker is injured
indefinitely. Often, in order to receive compensation that accounts
for pain and suffering, a party other than the employer must be found
to bear some responsibility for the injury-causing accident.
Knowledge of federal state regulations governing construction sites
is imperative when developing theories against general contractors
and subcontractors that may allow for legal action when it appears
that such laws would prevent recovery. Further, your legal representative
should have experience in the inspection of worksites, identification
of critical witnesses and preservation of importance evidence. |
