You deserve time to focus on your recovery. Our lawyers are here to handle the paperwork and deal with the insurance companies. Contact our Delray Beach construction accident attorneys today to learn how we can help you fight for the maximum compensation possible.
For most injured workers, filing a workers’ compensation claim is the initial step. Workers’ compensation provides a valuable lifeline to help injured employees make ends meet while they recover.
All Florida construction companies are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance.
You may be entitled to benefits if:
You aren’t required to prove your employer was at fault under the workers’ compensation system. In exchange for workers’ compensation benefits, you will give up the right to sue your employer for damages. Our Delray Beach workers’ compensation lawyers can help you evaluate whether you might be entitled to benefits.
This immunity does not always extend to third parties. Depending on the circumstances, if someone other than your employer was responsible for your accident, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against them if they are not immune under Florida’s workers’ compensation laws.
The facts of your case will dictate how much money you walk away with.
Important issues include, but are not limited to:
Most workplace accident victims in Florida receive workers’ compensation checks, which may be capped by certain state laws.
This underscores the importance of evaluating your rights under Florida personal injury law. If you have a third-party personal injury claim, you may be able to recover additional damages beyond the benefits available through workers’ compensation. An experienced attorney can help determine whether these additional claims are available.
One thing is certain: it’s a mistake to rely on the insurance company’s estimates about your case value or assume that workers’ compensation is your only source of recovery. An experienced construction accident attorney in Delray Beach can help you determine how much your case may be worth and whether you have any additional claims or benefits available.
The types of damages you receive will depend on the nature of your injuries, the circumstances of the accident, and the type of case you have.
Workers’ compensation provides limited benefits to offset your two primary financial losses: medical expenses and lost wages.
Different types of disability benefits may be available, including:
Death benefits are also available for survivors of fatal construction accidents.
In addition to workers’ compensation benefits, a third-party personal injury claim may allow you to recover additional damages. The damages available will depend on the nature of your losses, the available insurance coverage, and whether you have a viable third-party claim under Florida law. Both financial and non-financial losses may be considered.
Examples of damages in a personal injury case include:
During your free case review, we can help you understand the types of damages that should be covered by your claim for compensation.
At Dalton Injury Law, we have the tools to handle any type of construction accident claim, including cases involving:
It’s important that you report your injuries quickly after a construction accident. Prompt medical attention can be critical to preventing complications and ensuring your injuries are properly diagnosed.
Florida’s shared fault laws do not apply to workers’ compensation claims. Even if you share some blame, your benefits will not be impacted.
In personal injury cases, your damages are reduced to account for your own share of fault. Under Florida law, you cannot recover compensation if you are allocated more than 50% of the blame for the accident.
Our team takes cases on a contingency fee basis. This means we only get paid if you get paid, whether through a settlement or jury verdict. If we secure compensation, we will deduct a pre-agreed-upon percentage to cover our fees.
Construction is consistently ranked among the most dangerous industries for workplace fatalities. Construction accidents also account for thousands of non-fatal injuries each year.
At Dalton Injury Law, we represent clients with all types of injuries, including:
Many workers are able to eventually return to work. Others suffer permanent disabilities that prevent them from returning to work or earning the same amount of income.
Unfortunately, most construction site accidents are completely avoidable. They occur when someone is careless or cuts corners.
Some common causes of construction accidents include:
Identifying the cause of your injuries is important. It will help determine whether you are limited to workers’ compensation benefits, whether you have the right to file a third-party personal injury lawsuit for damages, or both.
If you are going to file a workers’ compensation claim, you may have a limited time to tell your employer about the accident. Your employer must report the accident to their workers’ compensation insurance company. This starts the process for recovering compensation.
Personal injury victims in Florida have two years from the date of the accident to file a formal lawsuit. Failure to adhere to the two-year statute of limitations may mean that you will lose your right to sue for damages.
