Your Injuries…
Have you been injured while working on a construction site? As an employee, you are entitled to workers compensation. Your employer pays into a workers compensation fund, exactly for this reason. Depending on the nature of the accident — whether a machine malfunctioned or a subcontractor acted negligently — you may be able to also file a third-party liability action. We have aggressively and successfully represented injured construction workers in cases involving:
- Back injury
- Fractures
- Broken fingers
- Falls
- Machinery accidents
- Road construction auto injuries
- Saw accidents
An important step: If you have been injured due to the unsafe conditions of the construction site, try to obtain photos (with a cell phone camera or digital camera) of the injuries and the conditions that led to the accident.
…Your Choices
Getting injured on the job can be confusing and frustrating, particularly when employers and union leaders are telling you what you need to do rather than giving you choices. But you do have choices you can make independent of your company or labor union. You have the right to choose your own doctor. You have the right to your own attorney. Unions may want you to use their attorney because of a contractual agreement, but the choice is yours.
At The Law Offices of Attorney Jack Epstein, we provide quality, experienced assistance. We invite you to choose our firm to resolve your construction accident workers compensation issues.
Obtaining workers compensation benefits to address your financial and medical needs following a workplace injury is possible.
