How do workers’ compensation benefits and OSHA violations affect your rights after a construction site injury?

At Schwartzapfel Lawyers, we understand the complicated details of liability when an employee is injured at a construction site. A critical aspect of these cases involves understanding the interplay between workers’ compensation benefits and potential Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations.

 

Workers’ Compensation And Employee Rights

When an employee suffers construction site injuries, their primary course of action is often filing for workers’ compensation benefits. This system is designed to provide financial support without the need for litigation. It covers medical expenses and a portion of lost wages due to the injury.

 

Liability Beyond The Employer

In cases where third parties such as property owners, contractors, or equipment manufacturers are involved, and their negligence or malfunctions contribute to the injury, the injured worker may have the right to pursue additional legal claims. These claims can address aspects not covered by workers’ compensation, such as pain and suffering, and can lead to significant verdicts in your favor.

 

Understanding these distinctions is incredibly important for injured construction workers. At Schwartzapfel Lawyers, we have extensive experience in these types of situations, where we always do everything in our powers to get our clients the full compensation they’re entitled to.

 

And so, if you’ve been injured on a construction site and believe there has been an OSHA violation or third-party negligence, contact us now for a thorough evaluation of your case and skilled legal guidance. That said, you shouldn’t wait, as your window to recover all the money and benefits you deserve may soon close forever.

 

To keep that from happening, act now and have Schwartzapfel Lawyers fight – and win – for you!
