How a Construction Site Injury Attorney Helps You Recover Financially

Getting hurt on your construction job means physical pain, financial strain, and uncertainty about your future.

Now is the time to secure any economic support available to you, so you can move forward with your healing and your life.

Construction workers have two major avenues to pursue benefits and stability after a job injury:

  • Filing a workers’ compensation claim
  • Making a personal injury claim

Each kind of claim has different rules and involves different legal concepts. For Ohioans, the construction accident lawyers at Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal (HNB) handle either or both types of case—so you can maximize your benefits or settlements.

    Workers’ Comp or Personal Injury? Have a Construction Accident Attorney Take a Look.

    Here are the differences between a workers’ compensation claim and a personal injury case after an injury on a construction job:

    Workers’ Compensation

    Almost any injury on the job qualifies for workers’ compensation benefits in Ohio. It doesn’t matter what caused the accident, or if anyone was at fault. Benefits include replacement wages when you can’t work, the cost of your medical treatment and more.

    The Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) runs the benefits program. But it sometimes pushes back on approving your benefits or approves less than you should get. A workers’ compensation lawyer stands up for you in this system.

    Personal Injury

    You may have a personal injury claim if someone other than your employer or a co-worker was involved in your job injury. You generally can’t sue your employer over getting hurt at work. That’s what workers’ comp is for.

    But if a contractor visiting your job site or a faulty piece of equipment manufactured by someone else caused your injury, you may have a personal injury claim. Unlike workers’ comp, fault is a major factor in personal injury. You must prove that the third-party visitor or vendor acted with negligence.

    To make that legal case, you’ll want a skilled Ohio personal injury lawyer. A personal injury case can include negotiating a settlement with the negligent party’s insurance company or going to court.

    Have a construction accident attorney from Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal look at your case. We can tell whether you have a workers’ comp claim, a personal injury claim, or both.

    Hazards a Construction Site Injury Lawyer Can Help You With

    There’s no doubt that working construction comes with hazards. In fact, construction had the second-highest number of fatal accidents of any type of occupation in 2022, said the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    And several of the top 10 most frequent job safety violations found by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) were in construction, including violations involving ladders, scaffolding, eye protection and fall protection.

    The Ohio construction site injury attorneys at Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal can help after any of these kinds of incidents at work and more:

    • Crane Accidents
    • Electrocution Accidents
    • Elevator Accidents
    • Forklift Accidents
    • Heavy Machinery Accidents
    • Ladder Fall Accidents
    • Nail Gun Accidents
    • Scaffolding Accidents
    • Welding Accidents

    Our construction injury lawyers know how these situations happen and what evidence and information you need to build strong arguments for workers’ comp benefits and personal injury settlements.
