Construction Injury Law

Construction Injury Law


Construction Injury Law deals primarily with workers’ compensation claims resulting from construction accidents, as well as the safety laws, regulations and standards governing the construction industry. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the governing regulatory body for construction site safety. Most states have also adopted some form of safety regulations.

Many construction workers are only able to avail themselves of workers’ compensation when they have a work injury, although there are some exceptions. Workers’ compensation benefits include wage replacement, medical coverage, vocational rehabilitation, and other assistance.

Because construction workers who have been injured on the job may have a workers’ compensation claim, a personal injury claim, and sometimes both, it is advisable to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in construction accident and injury law to determine your rights. Copyright HG.org
