What Damages Can You Seek for a Construction Accident Injury?

Injured workers and those harmed by others’ negligence should not have to pay for damages arising from a construction accident. However, the compensation you can receive depends on the type of case you file. 

Workers’ Compensation Benefits

According to the Florida Department of Financial Services, workers’ compensation insurance can provide:

Medical Benefits

Your employer’s workers’ compensation policy should provide coverage for all necessary medical treatment resulting from your accident, including:

• Medical tests
• Hospital stays
• Doctor visits 
• Physical therapy
• Prescription drugs

Partial Wage Replacement

Workers’ compensation can pay for a portion of your lost wages if you cannot work while recovering from your injury. Our lawyers in Hollywood, FL, can tell you more about disability benefits you may qualify for under Florida Statutes § 440.15.

Personal Injury Awards

You usually cannot sue your employer under the workers’ compensation system. Therefore, you must have grounds for a personal injury case against a liable third party to recover additional damages. In general, personal injury compensation includes your past and future medical expenses and awards for:

• Total lost income: If you suffered a permanent or disabling construction accident injury, we can secure compensation for future lost wages and the loss of your earning capacity. 
• Pain and suffering: Our lawyers can seek compensation for your physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering. 
• Miscellaneous expenses: You may have other costs that arise from your accident, including personal property damages, the value of household services you cannot perform, travel expenses, and more. We can help you identify and recover fair compensation for these and other losses. 
• Wrongful death: A wrongful death case allows the deceased’s estate and surviving family members to recover medical expenses, lost wages, and funeral and burial costs. Survivors can also pursue pain and suffering compensation and awards for the loss of their loved one’s care, guidance, companionship, and support.
