Workers’ Compensation and Construction Site Accidents
Many of our clients who have been injured in construction site accidents are employees working in these environments. If this has happened to you, you are most likely looking for help navigating the workers’ compensation claim process. As you know, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance in order to provide medical care and wage reimbursement for their employees with the caveat that they will not sue them to receive these benefits.
If you have been injured at work and your employer has not held up their end of the deal, the legal team at Cressman Law Firm, P.A. can help you move forward. The most common problems we see in relation to workers’ compensation cases include:
- An employer’s refusal to acknowledge the injury and submit a claim to their insurance
- An employer’s insurance company denies a legitimate claim
- An employer pressures an injured employee to return to work before they are healed
- An employer and employee disagree on the amount or type of benefits received
Cressman Law Firm, P.A. works with construction site accident victims to:
- File a workers’ compensation claim;
- Provide evidence and documentation to support a claim that is called into question;
- Appeal a denied claim;
- Take further legal action when an employer and employee cannot resolve a workers’ compensation dispute through the previous methods.
