Recoverable Damages for Injured Construction Workers in Athens
Each construction accident case is different. Depending on how your accident happened, you may be able to sue liable parties. However, construction workers typically seek compensation through their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.
Workers’ compensation benefits generally include:
A Portion of Lost Income
We will seek fair compensation for your lost income. Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws detail how much compensation you can receive based on the nature and duration of your injuries. Your Athens workers’ comp lawyer will:
- Determine the classification of your injury (the potential categories are temporary partial disability (TPD), temporary total disability (TTD), permanent partial disability (PPD), and permanent total disability (PTD))
- Determine your pre-accident wages (to determine your average weekly wage)
- Determine exactly how much financial compensation you deserve for lost income and demand that amount from the insurance company
You must receive wage replacement as soon as possible to cover your daily living expenses, and our legal team will work quickly to secure such compensation from the insurer.
Accident-Related Medical Bills
All medical expenses related to your construction accident will entitle you to compensation. Due to the often serious nature of construction accidents, you may need multiple medical services, including:
- Transport by ambulance
- Diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and MRIs
- Medications
- Hospitalization
- One or more surgeries
- Medical equipment
- Rehabilitation services
If you are eligible for compensation covering other damages (such as pain and suffering), your workplace construction accident lawyer serving Athens will value those damages and include them in your settlement demand letter.
