Why Workers’ Compensation May Not Be Enough when Injured in a Construction Accident
Illinois Construction Accident Attorneys
Workers’ compensation payments exist to ensure that someone hurt on the job shouldn’t have to worry about any medical expenses while recovering. Sometimes, the money runs out before you are fully healed enough to go back to work, which can result in mounting bills, creditors calls, and bankruptcy. Also, sometimes there are other parties at fault for your injuries that are not covered by workers compensation. Third parties may be responsible for your construction accident. A construction accident attorney can help you figure this out.

What You Should Do If You Have Been Injured in a Construction Accident
Anyone injured in a construction accident should seek legal counsel as soon as possible after filing the Workers’ Compensation Claim. Any delay could jeopardize your claim for full and complete compensation: The accident scene can change, witnesses can move and the statute of limitations can pass. The longer the delay after the event, the more the third party who caused your injury is benefited.
