A construction worker hurt on the job would need a civil suit by a knowledgeable civil trial lawyer to get adequate payment. The meager workers’ compensation system gives too little too late to make you whole again. A civil case combined with the workers’ compensation award will give fair justice to you and your loved ones.
If you were hurt in a Dallas construction accident or incurred any devastating injury our personal injury group will provide free advice and assistance for you.
They are Dallas personal injury attorneys with experience, specializing in construction site injury and wrongful death law suits that also involves workers’ compensation claims.
A number of of the most frequent types of Dallas Construction Accidents involve:
Only a civil lawsuit plus your reduced workers’ comp benefits will cover all of your injuries, medical expenses and lost income.
Politicians have reduced hurt workers’ benefits lately. Your benefits have been cut in half. A companion civil case against a third party that caused your injuries adds a fair, full and reasonable award.
Workers’ comp payment to replace a worker’s earnings, temporary disability, is strictly limited to 2/3′s of your salary and restricted in time so that you will go without, work hurt, or broke. Lost income in a civil law suit is fair and not limited.
Medical benefits under Workers’ comp are now lowered. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and chiropractic care have been reduced and scrutinized. Vocational therapy, a standard damage in civil court, has been removed. The employer and insurance company select your physician and limit care.
Civil awards permit you to choose the best medical care and are based on what is medically reasonable and needed for your recovery to make you and your loved ones whole again.
As a hurt employee you need to immediately sign up for the modest but quick Workers’ Comp Benefit right after you are hurt and follow all employer/government regulations truthfully.
The Work Comp System won’t compensate you for all of your losses and injuries. Being a severely injured employee you also have a constitutional right to a civil jury trial if injured by a third party. Only a civil award will supplement the meager Workers’ Comp award to help you and your family become whole once again.
You need to seek legal advice concerning a civil award as soon as possible after submitting the Work Comp Claim.
You have 2 years from the date of injury to file the civil case. The fairest and best results happen when the case is filed promptly. Putting it off could jeopardize your case for full and complete compensation. The accident site will change with the passage of time.
Photographs of your accident and circumstances of fault are lost, destroyed and cannot be found. Crucial files like accident reports, witness statements, daily journals, and written inspections are lost over time. Main witnesses are moved and can’t be located. The passing of time works for the third party who brought about your injury.
The only method to preserve critical evidence is to quickly obtain a competent counsel to preserve the evidence and pursue the civil case.
Construction injuries severely limit your ability to lead an ordinary life. Your injuries prevent you from returning to work and you can’t pay expenses without your paycheck.
Don’t depend on contractors, employers and insurance firms to deal with you fairly. It is their intention to run the Workers’ Comp process to reduce their expenses and enhance their earnings.

Hiring a Dallas Construction Accident Attorney Could Save Your Future
Often when a person is hurt on a construction site, they assume that the accident injury was their fault, when that is not the case. Without the proper equipment, the proper training, or the proper safety precautions, it is not the fault of the worker, but rather the employer. The employer is insured against injuries and accidents on the work place and by finding a construction accident lawyer to work with, you can make sure that you are fully compensated for not only your injuries but your loss of employment as well.
The worst thing that you could possibly do after any kind of construction accident is to sign any papers or accept a settlement early on. Because many construction accidents are so severe and have long-term effects, both mentally and physically, you may find yourself in a settlement that does not cover all of your costs over the course of your lifetime. An experienced construction accident lawyer will make sure that you get what is due you, both now and in the future.
The range of injuries that have occurred at construction sites are about as varied as you could possibly imagine. Even a minor injury on a construction site can sideline an employee and the entire project for months, if not years. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the employer (not the employee!) to pursue an immediate settlement and get everyone working again. For the employee, though, who is unclear as to the repercussions of his or her injuries, a quick settlement might not be in their best interest.
